A systematic study on the design of fulleropyrrolidine derivatives as the acceptor of photovoltaic cells has been carried out using poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as the model base polymer. It was found that N-methoxyethoxyethyl-2-(2-methoxyphenyl)fulleropyrrolidine worked as a good acceptor partner with P3HT and a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) (3.44%) was obtained; this is superior to that of the P3HT polymer including methyl [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butylate ([C60]-PCBM) under the same experimental conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
