Fullerene acceptors/derivatives photovoltaic applications

Electrochemical reaction usually consists of a blend of two materials an electron-donor TT-conjugated polymer (donor, D) and an electron-acceptor fullerene derivative (acceptor, A). Polymers with electrochemical properties have attracted considerable attention over past decades due to potential applications in various fields including low-cost, lightweight, and flexible electrode materials in photovoltaic devices, such as, solar cells and energy storage devices like supercapacitors (Ripolles-Sanchis et al., 2013 Gelinck et al, 2010 Snook etal, 2011).
