Abstract

(Figure Presented) Formation of a controlled fullerene mesophase within an organic host system has enabled us to create high-power conversion efficiency photovoltaics. This mesophase is formed using thermal gradients that provide a fluidic mobility of the fullerenes allowing for greater dispersion of nanocrystalline 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl)propyl-1-phenyl-(6,6)C₆₁ (PCBM) within regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). From this reorganization of the component materials in the matrix the overall efficiency of the system jumps dramatically from the roughly 2.4% to 5.2%.
