説明

<jats:p> The carrier collection efficiency (η <jats:sub>c</jats:sub> ) and energy conversion efficiency (η <jats:sub>e</jats:sub> ) of polymer photovoltaic cells were improved by blending of the semiconducting polymer with C <jats:sub>60</jats:sub> or its functionalized derivatives. Composite films of poly(2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) and fullerenes exhibit η <jats:sub>c</jats:sub> of about 29 percent of electrons per photon and η <jats:sub>e</jats:sub> of about 2.9 percent, efficiencies that are better by more than two orders of magnitude than those that have been achieved with devices made with pure MEH-PPV. The efficient charge separation results from photoinduced electron transfer from the MEH-PPV (as donor) to C <jats:sub>60</jats:sub> (as acceptor); the high collection efficiency results from a bicontinuous network of internal donor-acceptor heterojunctions. </jats:p>
