Phthalocyanines/fullerene organic photovoltaic cells were fabricated and characterized. Effects of Au nanoparticle addition to a hole transfer layer were also investigated, and power conversion efficiencies of the photovoltaic cells were improved after blending the Au nanoparticle into PEDOT:PSS. Nanostructures of the Au nanoparticles were investigated by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Energy levels of molecules were calculated by molecular orbital calculations, and the nanostructures and electronic property were discussed.

Dual functional electrospun nanofibers were successfully fabricated. When the plasmonic-enhanced LSC electrospun nanofibers with a crossed pattern were employed into P3HT : PC61BM and PTB7 : PC71BM, the power conversion efficiencies showed a remarkable 18% enhancement.

Until recently, the many classes of non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) molecules and polymers exhibited lower power conversion efficiencies than polymer:fullerene counterparts in organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. We sought to understand the...
