title: Side-Chain Engineering for Enhancing the Thermal Stability of Polymer Solar Cells.
abstract: An effective strategy of engineering side chains is proposed for enhancing solar-cell-device thermal stability. As the conjugated length of the side chains increases, the morphological stability of the blend film is enhanced. The thermal stability of corresponding devices is consequently improved.
