Abstract

The origin of high current density in efficient non-fullerene based bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells employing a non-planar perylene dimer (TP) as an electron acceptor and a thiophene based donor polymer PBDTTT-CT is investigated using electrical and optical techniques. Photoluminescenc...
