HIERARCHICAL ASSEMBLY OF NANOSTRUCTURED ORGANIC HETEROJUNCTIONS FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES

摘要

Systems and methods for hierarchical assembly of nanostructured organic heterojunctions for photovoltaic devices are described. Particularly, an apparatus for converting light energy to electrical energy is provided. An apparatus includes one or more organic photovoltaic devices. Photovoltaic devices include a cathode in electrical contact with the apparatus and an anode in electrical contact with the apparatus. Photovoltaic devices further include an acceptor layer having molecules forming a supramolecular network on a substrate and a donor layer having fullerene molecules bonded onto the supramolecular network.
