UV Crosslinkable Polythiophene for Nano-imprinting and Photolithography toward Ordered Bulk Heterojunction in Organic Photovoltaics

Exciton travel distance in organic material is on the order of 10-20 nm, thus the morphology of the organic active layer is critical to achieve high performance in OPVs. An ordered bulk heterojunction (BHJ) morphology with phase separation on the order of 10-20 nm will collect all excitons at the interface and give uninterrupted paths to all separated charges to reach the corresponding electrodes.
