A stabilization effect of [60]fullerene in donor–acceptor organic solar cells

In this paper we compare the behavior of solar cells based on pure regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) with those in which the same polymer is blended with a functionalized fullerene, under continuous illumination. We found that the decay of both photocurrent and photovoltage signals with time is su...

Summary:In this paper we compare the behavior of solar cells based on pure regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) with those in which the same polymer is blended with a functionalized fullerene, under continuous illumination. We found that the decay of both photocurrent and photovoltage signals with time is substantially reduced when the blend is used.
