We report the use of direct (hetero) arylation polymerizations (DHAP) as a means of
obtaining 3, 4-propylenedioxythiophene-based conjugated polymers for use in …

A conjugated donor–acceptor porphyrin small molecule was designed and synthesized with
diketopyrrolopyrrole as the acceptor unit. The new porphyrin-based small molecule exhibits …

Bulk heterojunction solar cells based on blends of the new low band gap donor–acceptor
copolymer, poly (N-(dodecyl)-3, 6-bis (4-dodecyloxythiophen-2-yl) phthalimide)(PhBT12) …

The thermal transition behaviour, optical and structural properties of spin-coated P3HT: C60
blended films with different C60 ratios were investigated using differential scanning …

In this article, polythiophene (PTh) and a sequence of PTh/(1, 5, 10 wt.%) ZnO composites
were prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method. The successful …

In the polymer photovoltaic devices (PVDs), the performance of devices was strongly
influenced by region-regularity, number average molecular weight and casting solvents of …

Each year we are bombarded with B. Sc. and Ph. D. applications from students that want to
improve the world. They have learned that their future depends on changing the type of fuel …
