[60]PCBM is still a very commonly used n-type component in organic photovoltaics. Over at least the last 6 years, the published world record power conversion efficiency (η) for a bulk heterojunction ...

Harvesting solar energy using organic solar cells has been considered a viable alternative energy option mainly due to their light weight, low production costs and mechanical flexibility. The use of ...

Figure 1: Spin enhancement of OPV solar cell based on P3HT/PCBM blend doped with spin 1/2 galvinoxyl radicals. In the present work, we demonstrate a new method to improve OPV efficiency by doping the ...

An international research team has developed a PV cell with all-inorganic cesium-lead iodide (CsPbI3) perovskite. The scientists added phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), one of the best ...

Researchers guide PCBM molecules into an ordered structure that prevents dimer formation and delivers major efficiency gains and long lasting stability in perovskite solar cells. Perovskite solar ...

Taiwanese researchers have added bathocuproine (BCP) molecules to three different kinds of solvents used in perovskite cells and have ascertained how this combination increases the carrier mobility ...

(a) Schematic illustration of the perovskite solar cell structure and the additive molecule; (b) mechanism of PCBM dimerization and the role of the additive; (c–f) molecular dynamics simulation ...
