This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics of the photovoltaic cell. It is
suitable for undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers new to the field. It covers: …

The need for energy storage to balance intermittent and inflexible electricity supply with
demand is driving interest in conversion of renewable electricity via electrolysis into a storable …

In organic photovoltaics, morphological control of donor and acceptor domains on the nanoscale
is the key for enabling efficient exciton diffusion and dissociation, carrier transport and …

We present a study of dark air-exposure degradation of organic solar cells based on
photoactive blends of the conjugated polymer, poly[2-methoxy-5-(3′,7′-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-…

Organic solar cells are composed of electron donating and accepting organic semiconductors.
Whilst a significant palette of donors has been developed over three decades, until …

Control of blend morphology at the microscopic scale is critical for optimizing the power
conversion efficiency of plastic solar cells based on blends of conjugated polymer with fullerene …

Low-cost photovoltaic energy conversion using conjugated molecular materials has
become increasingly feasible through the development of organic ‘bulk heterojunction (BHJ)’ …

Here we report enhanced efficiency bulk heterojunction organic solar cells using blend films
of regioregular poly (3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) and 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl)-propyl-1-phenyl-(…

A new synthetic route, to prepare an alkylated indacenodithieno[3,2‐b]thiophene‐based
nonfullerene acceptor (C8‐ITIC), is reported. Compared to the reported ITIC with phenylalkyl …

Solar cells composed of methylammonium lead iodide perovskite (MAPI) are notorious for
their sensitivity to moisture. We show that (i) hydrated crystal phases are formed when MAPI is …
