OPTICAL AND PHOTOVOLTAIC PROPERTIES OF DONOR POLYMERS D18 AND D18-C6CH
Abstract
Organic solar cells (OSCs) are a type of alternative energy, and extensive research is underway in this field to address the global energy crisis. OSCs are considered superior to traditional silicon-based inorganic solar cells due to their lower cost, flexibility, lighter weight, and ability to be processed using solutions. In particular, OSCs based on non-fullerene polymers have shown promising results with good stability and efficient power conversion efficiency (PCE). This article investigates the optical and photovoltaic properties of non-fullerene D18:L8-Bo and D18-C6Ch:L8-Bo based OSCs.
