TL;DR: By applying specific fabrication conditions summarized in the Experimental section and post-production annealing at 150°C, polymer solar cells with power-conversion efficiency approaching 5% were demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, an optical spacer between the active layer and the Al electrode is proposed to redistribute the light intensity inside the device by introducing an optical sensor. But the spacer is not suitable for the case of thin-film photovoltaic cells.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates polymer photodetectors with broad spectral response fabricated by using a small-band-gap semiconducting polymer blended with a fullerene derivative that can exceed the response of an inorganic semiconductor detector at liquid helium temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported that a high power conversion efficiency of 8.4% under AM 1.5G irradiation was achieved for BHJ PSCs with an inverted device structure.

TL;DR: The use of molybdenum oxide as the anode interfacial layer in conventional bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells leads to an improved power conversion efficiency and also dramatically increases the device stability, indicating that the engineering of improved anode interface materials is an important method by which to fabricate efficient and stable polymer cells.
