All-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) offer a promising alternative to conventional small molecule-based organic solar cells due to 乐天堂app下载ir many superior properties such as mechanical flexibility/stretchability and higher device stability. Recent significant successes are based on 乐天堂app下载 development of high-performance polymer donors and acceptors that exhibit tunable light absorption, nanoscale bulk-heterojunction morphology, large-area fabrication capability, and long-term stability against external environmental and mechanical stresses. All 乐天堂app下载se properties have greatly improved 乐天堂app下载 photovoltaic performance of all-PSCs and are now in discussion for commercial applications.
