Thesis
Investigations of evaporated and hybrid organic solar cells with engineered Förster resonance energy transfer
- Abstract:
-
Recent advances in non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) materials have enabled power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) exceeding 20% in solution-processed (SP) organic solar cells (OSCs). However, vacuum-thermal-evaporated (VTE) OSCs, despite offering advantages in reproducibility and commercial scalability, have largely plateaued at lower PCEs (∼10%), primarily relying on fullerene-based electron acceptors and exhibiting significant open-circuit voltage (V_{oc}) losses (typically ∼0.7-1.1 V, defined as...
