title: Block copolymer as a nanostructuring agent for high-efficiency and annealing-free bulk heterojunction organic solar cells.
abstract: The addition of a block copolymer to the polymer/fullerene blend is a novel approach to the fabrication of organic solar cells. The block copolymer (P3HT-b-P4VP) is used as nanostructuring agent in the active layer. A significant enhancement of the cell efficiency is observed, in correlation with morphology control, both before (as-cast) and after the annealing process.
