THIS IS GRANT IS A CONTUNATION OF N000141410053 - PECASE: Morphology and Architecture Control for Understanding the Origin of Efficiency in Organic/Polymer Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells.
Abstract
The PI proposes to study the tradeoffs associated with bulk heterojunction OPV active layers as compared to systems in which the donor or acceptor is based on vertially grown nanowires. Currently, nanowire devices underperform relative to bulk heterojunction devices even though there is a direct pathway to the electrodes for at least one of the separated charges, which should minimize recombination losses. The PI will fully characterize the cells with a focus on morpholgy through scanning probe, x-ray, and electron microscopy techniques.
