Recent progress in all-small-molecule organic photovoltaics

Chunyu Xu et al.

Summary: Solution-processed organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have great potential in next-generation photovoltaic technology due to their advantages of light weight, low cost, easy fabrication, high mechanical flexibility and good semitransparency. However, all-small-molecule OPVs (SMPVs) still lag behind polymer based OPVs in terms of power conversion efficiency. In this review, the development of SMPVs is summarized as small molecular material design and device engineering, with challenges and perspectives discussed for further improvement. The summary on typical SMPV studies provides inspiration for researchers in synthesizing new small molecular materials and fabricating highly efficient SMPVs.

Highly Sensitive Narrowband Photomultiplication-Type Organic Photodetectors Prepared by Transfer-Printed Technology

Zijin Zhao et al.

Summary: Narrowband photomultiplication-type organic photodetectors (PMOPDs) were developed using poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) as the optical field adjusting (OFA) layer and transfer-printed P3HT:[6,6]-phenyl-C-71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM) as the photomultiplication (PM) layer.
