Organic solar cells (OSCs) can directly convert the sunlight into electrical energy and
present some advantages, such as low cost, light weight, flexibility, semitransparency, and …

In this review paper, we present a comprehensive summary of the different organic solar cell
(OSC) families. Pure and doped conjugated polymers are described. The band structure …

It is clear that the current energy regimen, which relies on nonrenewable and polluting
energy sources, has unsustainable consequences for societal, economical, geopolitical, and …

The field of organic photovoltaics has developed rapidly over the last 2 decades, and small
solar cells with power conversion efficiencies of 13% have been demonstrated. Light …

With the hope of solving the present energy crisis and associated environmental issues,
much research has been focused on solar cells that can harvest energy directly from …

Aggregates of conjugated polymers exhibit two classes of fundamental electronic
interactions: those occurring within a given chain and those occurring between chains. The …

Organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology has been developed and improved from a fancy
concept with less than 1% power conversion efficiency (PCE) to over 10% PCE, particularly …

Solution-processed solar cells are appealing because of the low manufacturing cost, the
good compatibility with flexible substrates, and the ease of large-scale fabrication. Whereas …

Recent progress in the development of polymer solar cells has improved power-conversion
efficiencies from 3% to almost 9%. Based on semiconducting polymers, these solar cells are …
