The need to develop inexpensive renewable energy sources stimulates scientific research
for efficient, low-cost photovoltaic devices. 1 The organic, polymer-based photovoltaic …

In this Review, we summarize recent work on modeling of organic/metal and organic/organic
interfaces. Some of the models discussed have a semiempirical approach, that is …

The electronic properties of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are critically dependent on both
QD size and surface chemistry. Modification of quantum confinement provides control of the …

Discussing theory and transport, synthesis, processing, properties, and applications, this
second edition of a standard resource covers advances in the field of electrically conducting …

The function of electronically functional organic materials often originates at an interface,
one example being organic electroluminescent devices (the Figure shows a typical energy …

Organic solar cell research has developed during the past 30 years, but especially in the last
decade it has attracted scientific and economic interest triggered by a rapid increase in …

The progress in the development and understanding of interfacial materials for organic
photovoltaics (OPV) is reviewed. The proper choice of interface materials is a must for highly …

The present review rationalizes the information spread in the literature concerning the use
and role of buffer layers in polymer solar cells. Usual device structures include buffer layers …

The insertion of thin interlayers of LiF under the negative metal electrode (Al and Au) of bulk
heterojunction solar cells significantly enhances the fill factor and stabilizes high open circuit …

Electroluminescent devices based on organic materials are of considerable interest owing to
their attractive characteristics and potential applications to flat panel displays. After a brief …
