Diyne-Functionalized Fullerene Self-Assembly for Thin Film Solid-State Polymerization

Roland Hany, Jakob Heier, Gaëtan Wicht, Raffaele Mezzenga

C-60 fullerene derivatives bearing aliphatic chains can self-assemble into versatile supramolecular structures. Cross-linking of such self-assembled morphologies is an attractive approach to enhance the structural stability of these self-organized structur ...

Growth and Alignment of Thin Film Organic Single Crystals from Dewetting Patterns

Gian-Luca Bona, Roland Hany, Jakob Heier, Gaëtan Wicht, Raffaele Mezzenga, Thomas Geiger

Studying and understanding the conditions under which organic semiconductors can be engineered to form aligned single crystals in thin films is of primary importance owing to their unique orientation-dependent optoelectronic properties. Efforts to reach th ...

Influence of crystalline titanium oxide layer smoothness on the performance of inverted organic bilayer solar cells

Roland Hany, Gaëtan Wicht, Hui Zhang, Thomas Andreas Lanz

Due to the small exciton diffusion length in organic materials, the donor-acceptor heterointerface in simple bilayer solar cells must be placed in close proximity to the bottom electrode. This makes great demands on the planarity of the base layer, since a ...

Stability of bilayer trimethine cyanine dye/fullerene organic solar cells

Roland Hany, Lei Wang, Gaëtan Wicht, Hui Zhang

The long-term (up to 100 days) stabilities of thin films of a trimethine cyanine dye (Cy3-P) and of Cy3-P/C-60 bilayer solar cells with initial power conversion efficiencies of up to 3.6% in the regular and inverted device architecture were studied. For st ...

Low-loss polymer waveguides on nanoporous layers

Libero Zuppiroli, Rolando Ferrini, Gaëtan Wicht

Multimode planar polymer waveguides were fabricated on hybrid polymer nanoporous layers with a fast industrial aqueous-based method well adapted to coat large-surface plastic substrates and easily scalable up to economical mass production volumes. Using a ...

Couches minces nanoporeuses pour la réalisation de dispositifs optiques

Gaëtan Wicht

The physical-chemical properties of polymer films can be modified by embedding inorganic materials (e. g. inorganic nanoparticles) into the polymer matrix. Depending both on the material properties (e. g. nanoparticles concentration) and on the fabrication ...

Nanoporous films with low refractive index for large-surface broad-band anti-reflection coatings

Libero Zuppiroli, Rolando Ferrini, Gaëtan Wicht

Nowadays, nanoporous films are widely employed in biochemical applications or in opto-photonic devices such as displays, solar cells, or light-guiding systems. In particular, the technological feasibility of nanoporous layers with low refractive indices ha ...
