Buckyball Derivatives as Acceptors in Organic Photovoltaics: A Review
Keywords:
bisPCBM, Fullerene, Fullerene Derivatives, Organic Acceptors, Organic Photovoltaics, Organic Solar Cells, PCBM, Power Conversion EfficiencyAbstract
Organic materials are a focus of primary attention in the field of organic photovoltaics (OPV) due to low cost (in terms of fabrication, operation, and maintenance), high portability, quick production, and mechanical flexibility. Buckyball derivatives play a prominent role as acceptors in these devices. They are investigated in combination with various organic donor polymers to increase power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OPV devices. This review gives an extensive insight about buckyball derivatives in organic photovoltaics (OPV) under three sections. The first section gives a broad overview on types of organic solar cells and how PCE can be improved by finetuning nine factors. The second section explores classification of buckyball derivatives and their properties. In the final section, the roles of key buckyball derivatives such as C60, PC60BM, PC70BM, bisPCBM, [60]IPB, ICBA, [60]PCBH in the field of OPV are discussed.
