Intensive research has been devoted to the field of bulk heterojnnction solar cells during the last decade. As a result, many different materials were found to be suitable for construction of bulk heterojnnction solar cells. Among them are examples of polymer/polymer, polymer/small molecule, polymer/carbon nanotube, polymer/inorganic nanoparticle, as well as small molecule/small molecule composites. ... [Pg.2075]

In this chapter we have provided a general picture of the research carried out into carbon nanotubes polymer composites, from their chemical construction-considering both covalent and noncovalent approaches-to revision of the factors that ultimately control their properties, with particular emphasis on the promising properties of NTs in the cell performance of photoelectrochemical and NT-based solar cells.

A significant research effort has been devoted to the design and application of various supramolecular self-assembled systems in photoelectrochemical solar cells. Fullerenes, fullerene derivatives, and carbon nanotubes are typically used as electron acceptor components of such systems. Porphyrins, phthalocyanines, ruthenium complexes, conjugated oligomers, and polymers are applied as electron donor counterparts. [Pg.2082]
