Precise control of the molecular arrangements at the donor/acceptor interfaces in mixed bulk heterojunctions (BHJs) remains challenging, despite its vital importance for achieving high efficiency in organic photovoltaics (OPVs). This study reveals that the patterns of linear and branched alkyl side chains on electron-donating/-accepting alternating copolymers (D-A copolymers) can control the positions of fullerene acceptor molecules around the polymer main chains in mixed BHJs. Two-dimensional 1H-13C heteronuclear correlation solid-state NMR (2D HETCOR SS-NMR) results show a clear difference in the location of fullerene molecule between the BHJ films for twin polymers BDTP-1 and BDTP-2. A copolymer (BDTP-1) with an electron-accepting unit positioned in close proximity to fullerene molecule shows higher OPV performance. This is the first report to clearly demonstrate the molecular arrangements at the donor/acceptor interface in mixed BHJs. Our polymer design offers precise control over the interfacial molecular structure, thereby paving the way for overcoming the current limitations of OPVs based on mixed BHJs.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
