A novel stable bisazide molecule that can freeze the bulk heterojunction morphology at its optimized layout by specifically bonding to fullerenes is reported. The concept is demonstrated with various polymers: fullerene derivatives systems enable highly thermally stable polymer solar cells.

MoO3 powders is of the utmost interest due to the strong influence of the grain size and morphology on their electrochemical cycling properties. An original straightforward synthesis method permitted the obtaining of nanobelts of α-MoO3 with a slightly better reversibility of Li insertion−deinsertion and a higher efficiency of the lithium insertion process. The broad-band dielectric spectroscopy technique from 40 to 1010 Hz was applied to Li

MoO3 micronic powder and nanobelts. Dielectric relaxations were found, attributed to polarons and bipolarons motions. The role of the morphology and size effect has been investigated by comparing the electron transport properties of micronic powder and nanobelts. Particle size effect is evidenced giving rise to different thermal behaviors between the two types of powders. This work opens up new prospects for a more fundamental understanding of the electronic transport in relation to the electrochemical properties of α-MoO3.
