摘要
Polymer solar cells are fabricated with systematic variation of the phase purity. Photovoltaic tests demonstrate that devices with ca. 10% of mixed phases outperform pure-phase devices. Photophysical studies reveal the effects of mixed phase on charge generation and recombination. These results show a promising strategy for the optimization of organic electronic materials.
