Influence of Blend Ratio and Processing Additive on Free Carrier Yield and Mobility in PTB7:PC71BM Photovoltaic Solar Cells.
in The journal of physical chemistry. C, Nanomaterials and interfaces
| Description | The results show how the structure and processing of organic semiconductors affect their performance in solar cells. A particularly interesting finding was the use of a "templating additive" as a way of improving bulk heterojunction morphology and device performance. |
| Exploitation Route | Our demonstration of a templating additive will be published and hence can be used by other groups and industry. |
| Sectors | Energy |
| Description | In addition to the influence of the publications, a HGSP Scottish Enterprise grant was awarded to the Skabara group that aimed at developing a non-acidic formulation of PEDOT-PSS, which would prolong the lifetime of solar cell devices, including those from this project. This is reported under linked grant EP/L012200/1. |
