Effects of dihydronaphthyl-based [60]fullerene bisadduct regioisomers on polymer solar cell performance.

The effects of fullerene bisadduct regioisomers on solar cell performance have been examined for the first time and the two substituent positions on C(60) have been found to have a large impact on the solar cell performance.

A Photoconductive, Thiophene-Fullerene Double-Cable Polymer, Nanorod Device.

Gold/double-cable copolymer/gold multisegmented nanorods were prepared electrochemically via a template-based method. These "bulk heterojunction" nanorods showed photoconductivity providing us with a platform to study photoinduced charge separation/transport at the nanointerface and begin to think about the rational design of nanoscale solar cells based on such structures.
