Organic Photovoltaic Materials - Design, Synthesis and Scale-Up

Abstract

This account describes the work of our group in the area of organic photovoltaics in the past six years. The emphasis is on our experiences in the development of the organic materials, their characterization, scale-up and application in devices. We share our insight into the relationship between synthetic methods, molecular properties, bulk material properties and device performance. Experience and insight into organic photovoltaic materials research are presented in this account.
