“…5.8(A) shows a simplified view of a nanocolumnar OPV device and the molecular structure of some of its components. The most common donor materials in small molecule OAD-OPVs are metal phthalocyanines (MPc) such as CuPc [103,150,[395][396][397]399], PbPc [398] and ClAlPc [394]. The most common acceptor in these devices is fullerene, either in its sublimable (C 60 ) or soluble form as [6,6]-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester.…”

a b s t r a c tThe oblique angle configuration has emerged as an invaluable tool for the deposition of nanostructured thin films. This review develops an up to date description of its principles, including the atomistic mechanisms governing film growth and nanostructuration possibilities, as well as a comprehensive description of the applications benefiting from its incorporation in actual devices. In contrast with other reviews on the subject, the electron beam assisted evaporation technique is analyzed along with other methods operating at oblique angles, including, among others, magnetron sputtering and pulsed laser or ion beam-assisted deposition techniques. To account for the existing differences between deposition in vacuum or in the presence of a plasma, mechanistic simulations are critically revised, discussing well-established paradigms such as the tangent or cosine rules, and proposing new models that explain the growth of tilted porous nanostructures. In the second part, we present an extensive description of applications wherein oblique-angle-deposited thin films are of relevance. From there, we proceed by considering the requirements of a large number of functional devices in which these films are currently being utilized (e.g., solar cells, Li batteries, electrochromic glasses, biomaterials, sensors, etc.), and subsequently describe how and why these nanostructured materials meet with these needs.

Thin films have a great impact on the modern era of technology. Thin films are considered as backbone for advanced applications in the various fields such as optical devices, environmental applications, telecommunications devices, energy storage devices, and so on . The crucial issue for all applications of thin films depends on their morphology and the stability. The morphology of the thin films strongly hinges on deposition techniques. Thin films can be deposited by the physical and chemical routes. In this chapter, we discuss some advance techniques and principles of thin-film depositions. The vacuum thermal evaporation technique, electron beam evaporation, pulsed-layer deposition, direct current/radio frequency magnetron sputtering, and chemical route deposition systems will be discussed in detail.

“…The other is that the thickness-independent interface layer can be processed by large-scale printing techniques for large-area, highly efficient OSCs and PSCs. Herein, this review will summarize recent research progress on OSCs and PSCs using interface Interface modification for small molecular solar cells using molecular template layer Thin film morphology and molecular orientation are very important to the charge transport and device performance, and molecular template growth has been developed to fabricate high-quality organic semiconductor thin film with controllable morphology and molecular orientation [25,27,28,34]. In order to form ordered bulk heterojunction instead of planar heterojunction, the combination of molecular template growth and glancing angle deposition technique was used to fabricate ordered nanocolumn-array phthalocynine organic semiconductor thin film with controllable molecular orientation, in which a controllable lying-down molecular orientation was obtained in the models of planar molecule copper phthalocynine (CuPc) and non-planar molecule chloroaluminum phthalocyanine (AlClPc) [28], as shown in Fig.…”

Organic solar cells (OSCs) continuously attract much attention due to their potentials as the low-cost and lightweight sources of renewable energy, and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the state-of-the-art OSCs has reached over 10.0%. Especially, there has been an unexpected breakthrough and rapid evolution of highly efficient organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and the PCE has been improved to over 20%. The interface plays a very important role on the performance of both OSCs and PSCs, as well as their stability. It is imperative to control the interface properties and understand the mechanisms for obtaining highly efficient OSCs and PSCs. In this review, we will summarize our research progress on the interface modification of OSCs and PSCs using the electron transport layer and hole transport layer, as well as the molecular template layer.
