  • Conjugated polymers as functional hole selective layers in efficient metal halide perovskite solar cells 

    Colodrero, Silvia (AIMS Press, 2017-08-29)
    Article
    Open Access
    Interface engineering is still an open question to be solved in the emerging field of metal halide perovskite solar cells. Although impressive advances have been already made in controlling the composition and the quality ...
  • Circumventing UV light induced nano-morphology disorder to achieve long lifetime PTB7-Th:PCBM based solar cells 

    Liu, Quan; Toudert, Johann; Liu, Feng; Mantilla-Perez, Paola; Montes Bajo, Miguel; Russell, Thomas P.; Martorell, Jordi (Wiley, 2017-07-17)
    Article
    Open Access
    Large area flexible electronics rely on organic or hybrid materials prone to degradation limiting the device lifetime. For many years, photo-oxidation has been thought to be one of the major degradation pathways. However, ...
  • Monolithic CIGS-Perovskite Tandem Cell for an Optimal Light Harvesting Without Current Matching 

    Mantilla-Perez, Paola; Feurer, Thomas; Correa-Baena, Juan-Pablo; Liu, Quan; Colodrero, Silvia; Toudert, Johann; Saliba, Michael; Buecheler, Stephan; Hagfeldt, Anders; Tiwari, Ayodhya N.; Martorell, Jordi (ACS, 2017-03-23)
    Article
    Open Access
    We present a novel monolithic architecture for optimal light harvesting in multijunction thin film solar cells. In the configuration we consider, formed by a perovskite (PVK) cell overlying a CIGS cell, the current extracted ...
  • Outdoor operation of small-molecule organic photovoltaics 

    Burlingame, Quinn; Zanotti, Gloria; Ciammaruchi, Laura; Katz, Eugene A.; Forrest, Stephen R. (ScienceDirect, 2017-02-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    We measure the diurnal dependence of the operating characteristics of tetraphenyldibenzoperiflanthene (DBP):C70 planar-mixed heterojunction small-molecule organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells with 2,2′,2″-(1,3,5-benzenitryl ...
  • An extremely thin and robust interconnecting layer providing 76% fill factor in a tandem polymer solar cell architecture 

    Martínez-Otero, Alberto; Liu, Quan; Mantilla-Perez, Paola; Montes Bajo, Miguel; Martorell Pena, Jordi (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-04-17)
    Article
    Open Access
    We report a thin and robust interconnecting layer (ICL) for polymer tandem solar cells. This ICL shows low absorption, good electrical contacts, large work function contrast and robustness. Its use yields tandem cells with ...
  • Semi-transparent polymer solar cells 

    Romero-Gómez, Pablo; Pastorelli, Francesco; Mantilla-Pérez, Paola; Mariano, Marina; Martínez-Otero, Alberto; Elias, Xavier; Betancur, Rafael; Martorell Pena, Jordi (SPIE, 2015-02-16)
    Article
    Open Access
    Over the last three decades, progress in the organic photovoltaic field has resulted in some device features which make organic cells applicable in electricity generation configurations where the standard silicon-based ...
