Advances in solar photovoltaics are urgently needed to increase the performance and reduce the cost of harvesting solar power. Solution-processed photovoltaics are cost-effective to manufacture and offer the potential for physical flexibility. Rapid progre ...
We present a comparative study of ultrafast photoexcited state relaxation in pentacene single crystals and in pure and C-60-doped pentacene films using optical pump-probe spectroscopy. The photoinduced absorption spectra in pentacene crystals is consistent ...
Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) across molecular/bulk interfaces has gained attention only recently and is still poorly understood. These interfaces offer an excellent case study, pertinent to a variety of photovoltaic systems, photo- and electrochemi ...
There is an increasing trend of using various types of nanostructures as components of solar cells. This highlights the need to gain a deeper understanding of the nanoscale interface in such devices. The present thesis aims to study individual photoactive ...
The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) challenges conventional photovoltaics with its potential for low-cost prodn. and its flexibility in terms of color and design. Transient absorption spectroscopy is widely used to unravel the working mechanism of DSCs. A ...
Incident solar radiation is the most fundamental of the sustainable energy sources, being at the origin of all others - wind and wave, biomass and even fossil fuels which represent stored solar energy over a geological time scale. Only nuclear and geotherm ...

Perhaps the largest challenge for our global society is to find ways to replace the slowly but inevitably vanishing fossil fuel supplies by renewable resources and, at the same time, avoid negative effects from the current energy system on climate, environ ...
We present the femtosecond spectroscopic investigation of a covalently linked dyad, PCB-P3HT, formed by a segment of the conjugated polymer P3HT (regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene)) that is end capped with the fullerene derivative PCB ([6,6]-phenyl-C-61-b ...
Although in principle very promising, photovoltaic technology has so far failed to deliver robust high efficiency modules at affordable prices. Despite considerable research, high efficiency silicon based cells remain expensive, while the more recent organ ...
Using plastics or dyes like molecular semiconductors to make optoelectronic devices at low cost is a project in industry that is of great interest to the "Information Community" of this beginning of the 21st century. Some applications of this technology ha ...
