Outline of Final Research Achievements

We aim to develop the polymer solar cells with high efficiency and durability using the inverted structure which can be prepared by solution process in air. We focused on 56 pi fullerene derivative acceptors that promises major improvements in voltage, conducted “designing the morphology of active layer”, “controlling the interface between electron collection layer and organic active layer”, and “investigating the combination of donors and acceptors”. We tried to find the basic insight for high efficiency and durability devices from a viewpoint of device preparation.
