Light Management

We report a novel light management approach based on solution-processed nanowire (NW) coating for enhancing organic solar cell efficiency. A titanium dioxide (TiO2) NW dispersion was produced by electrospinning. The coatings with various coverage fractions were fabricated by a simple solution casting of a TiO2NW dispersion. Reduced reflectivity was observed for the NW-coated glass slide. The bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells with the NW coating showed improved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) due to their antireflection and light trapping effects in the active layer. In addition, the PCE of the cell with the NW coating was improved compared with that without the NW coating for incident angles above 70° (increased by a maximum of 51.6% at an incident angle of 85°). These results indicate that solution-processed NW coating is a promising light management approach easily scalable and applicable to a wide range of devices, including solar cells.

AzaBenzannulated PDI (AzaBPDI) dyes were synthesized in high yields via a new reaction sequence involving an imine condensation followed by visible light-induced photocyclization. The large scope and efficiency of this alternative to the Pictet-Spengler reaction is demonstrated, and allows the easy preparation of dimeric AzaBPDI as potential non-fullerene acceptors for organic solar cells.
