Origins of polarization-dependent anisotropic X-ray scattering from organic thin films

Gann, E., Collins, B. A., Tang, M., Tumbleston, J. R., Mukherjee, S., & Ade, H. (2016, January). JOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION, Vol. 23, pp. 219–227.

By: E. Gann n, B. Collins, M. Tang  n, J. Tumbleston n, S. Mukherjee  n & H. Ade n 

author keywords: polarization; scattering; RSoXS; PSoXS; resonant scattering; simulation
TL;DR: Anisotropic scattering patterns are found to allow unambiguous identification of the mechanism of local molecular orientation correlations and, as such, promise to be both distinct and complementary to isotropic scattering intensity as a general measure of thin film microstructure.

Controlling Molecular Weight of a High Efficiency Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymer and Understanding Its Significant Impact on Photovoltaic Properties

ADVANCED MATERIALS, 26(26), 4456-+.

By: W. Li *, L. Yang *, J. Tumbleston n, L. Yan *, H. Ade n  & W. You *

TL;DR: The study of a set ofPBnDT-FTAZ polymers with different MWs reveals that the MW significantly influences the morphology and structural order of PBnDTFTAZ in its bulk heterojunction solar cells, with the highest efficiency achieved with the use of a MW of 40 000 g mol(-1) .

Importance of Domain Purity and Molecular Packing in Efficient Solution-Processed Small-Molecule Solar Cells

ADVANCED MATERIALS, 27(6), 1105–1111.

By: S. Mukherjee n, C. Proctor *, J. Tumbleston n, G. Bazan *, T. Nguyen * & H. Ade n 

TL;DR: Connections are delineated between solar-cell performance, charge-carrier mobilities, and morphology in a highperformance molecular solar cell and the observations show that maximizing the relative phase purity and structural order while simultaneously limiting the domain size may be essential for achieving optimal solar- cell performances in solution-processed small-molecule solar cells.

Quantifying Charge Extraction in Organic Solar Cells: The Case of Fluorinated PCPDTBT

JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS, 5(7), 1131–1138.

By: S. Albrecht *, J. Tumbleston n, S. Janietz *, I. Dumsch*, S. Allard*, U. Scherf *, H. Ade n , D. Neher *

TL;DR: It is shown that the slower average extraction due to lower mobility accounts for the moderate fill factor when solar cells are fabricated with mono- or difluorinated PCPDTBT, rendering the monofluorinate derivative the most efficient donor polymer. (via Semantic Scholar)

MeSH headings : Electric Power Supplies; Electrochemical Techniques; Fluorine / chemistry; Models, Molecular; Molecular Structure; Oxidation-Reduction; Polymers / chemical synthesis; Polymers / chemistry; Solar Energy
TL;DR: The disclosed "fluorine" impact not only explains the efficiency increase from 4% of PBnDT-DTBT (0F) to 7% with PBn DT-DTffBT (2F) but also suggests fluorine substitution should be generally considered in the future design of new polymers. (via Semantic Scholar)
