Organic solar cells: An overview (2004, background): “For solvent processed systems, there is a strong dependence of the final morphology on the specific solvent used,(59,66,170,198) solvent evaporation time,(199,200) surface interactions,(201) and postproduction annealing.(64,136,137,139,202) In vacuum evaporated molecular systems, the final morpholog”
Manipulating the electronic and chemical properties of graphene via molecular functionalization (2013, background): “Despite its success in OPVs, several challenges still exist [36,110–117], including: (i) the global scarcity of indium; (ii) the complex and costly fabrication process for high quality ITO; (iii) the sensitivity to acids and bases that are commonly used as hole transporting layers for OPVs [118], i.”
Solar photovoltaic technology: A review of different types of solar cells and its future trends (2021, background): “Discotic-based solar cells made by the columnar array of the donor, perpendicularly oriented to substrate and embedded in an acceptor material has been proposed wherein external efficiency of about 5% with an external quantum efficiency (EQE, photon to current) of 34% at incident monochromatic wavel”
