Polymer Solar Cells: Crosslinkable Amino-Functionalized Conjugated Polymer as Cathode Interlayer for Efficient Inverted Polymer Solar Cells (Adv. Energy Mater. 11/2016)

A novel crosslinkable amino-functionalized conjugated polymer PFN-V is used as the cathode interlayer for high performance polymer solar cells, as reported by Lei Ying, Fei Huang, and co-workers in article number 1502563. The film can be rapidly crosslinked by UV-curing within 5 s in a nearly quantitative yield based on "thiol-ene" click reaction. This time- and labor-saving strategy may have practical applications in high throughput industrial production.
