Described are processes for enlarging the surface area of a polymer-based solar cell relative to a flat surface and/or for enlarging the active surface area of the organic semiconductor layer of the solar cell in relation to a flat surface. There is further described a polymer-based solar ...
Polymer-based solar cells have reached power conversion efficiencies of 5% in recent reports2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Deposition of organics by screen printing, doctor blading, inkjet printing, and spray deposition is possible because these materials can be made soluble. These techniques are required for ...
Also, the polymer solar cell has environmental advantages compared with other solar cells. Compared with silicon-based solar cells the production is more energy efficient, and they do not have the problems with heavy metals and chemicals that other (nano) solar thin films have. As a promising ...
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 fabricated from solution-processing techniques and have unique prospects for achieving low-cost solar energy harvesting, owing...

Polymer and organic solar cells degrade during illumination and in the dark. This is in contrast to photovoltaics based on inorganic semiconductors such as silicon. Long operational lifetimes of solar cell devices are required in real-life application and the understanding and alleviation of the degrad...
At the very beginning ofpolymer solar cell, the structure is similar to conventional silicon-based solar cell with a planar junction. People expect this device functions as P–Njunction solar cellwith simply coating of p-type and n-typeorganic semiconductormaterials. However, due to the short ex...
