“…Figure b shows that the V oc values of the ternary OSCs are between those of binary OSCs. In most ternary‐blend systems, the dominant hole transport and collection occurs through the donor component with the higher occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level . V oc is then determined using the component with the higher HOMO level.…”

Recently, researchers have paid a great deal of attention to the research and development of organic solar cells, leading to a breakthrough of over 10% power conversion efficiency. Though impressive, further development is required to ensure a bright industrial future for organic photovoltaics. Relatively narrow spectral overlap of organic polymer absorption bands within the solar spectrum is one of the major limitations of organic solar cells. Among different strategies that are in progress to tackle this restriction, the novel concept of ternary organic solar cells is a promising candidate to extend the absorption spectra of large bandgap polymers to the near IR region and to enhance light harvesting in single bulk-heterojunction solar cells. In this contribution, we review the recent developments in organic ternary solar cell research based on various types of sensitizers. In addition, the aspects of miscibility, morphology complexity, charge transfer dynamics as well as carrier transport in ternary organic composites are addressed.

“…In addition to DSSCs, various conjugated polymers with the main chain donor (D) and side chain acceptor (A) architecture have been successfully utilized in OPVs10 with high power conversion efficiency due to the expected directional charge flows. Therefore, it should be interesting to design a new D‐A type polymer sensitizer that can be simultaneously used in both conventional DSSC and OPV devices 11. By doing so, it will be possible to generalize the D‐A architecture concept for sensitizers and gain new insights into synergistic integration of DSSCs and OPVs.…”

A novel multifunctional conjugated polymer (RCP-1) composed of an electron-donating backbone (carbazole) and an electron-accepting side chain (cyanoacetic acid) connected through conjugated vinylene and terthiophene has been synthesized and tested as a photosensitizer in two major molecule-based solar cells, namely dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). Promising initial results on overall power conversion efficiencies of 4.11% and 1.04% are obtained from the basic structure of DSSCs and OPVs based on RCP-1, respectively. The well-defined donor (D)-acceptor (A) structure of RCP-1 has made it possible, for the first time, to reach over 4% of power conversion efficiency in DSSCs with an organic polymer sensitizer and good operation stability.
