“…Since the invention of a solar cell prototype by Bell Laboratory in 1954, solar cell efficiencies have been persistently increasing by innovations from solar cell materials to technologies. Until now, solar cells have experienced three generations, , but realizing photoelectric conversion in dark conditions is still a great challenge. Undoubtedly, this dilemma is increased by relatively low light intensity in rainy, cloudy, foggy, nighttime, and low-light environments.…”

A great challenge for state-of-the-art solar cells is to generate electricity in all weather. We present here the rapid conversion of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from carbohydrates (including glucose, maltol, sucrose) for an all-weather solar cell, which comprises a CQD-sensitized mesoscopic titanium dioxide/long-persistence phosphor (m-TiO/LPP) photoanode, a I/I redox electrolyte, and a platinum counter electrode. In virtue of the light storing and luminescent behaviors of LPP phosphors, the generated all-weather solar cells can not only convert sunlight into electricity on sunny days but persistently realize electricity output in all dark-light conditions. The maximized photoelectric conversion efficiency is as high as 15.1% for so-called all-weather CQD solar cells in dark conditions.

“…The search for new alternative renewable sources of energy has led to rapid progress in the development of cost effective, flexible, light-weight, colourful and large-area polymer solar cells, based on the bulk heterojunction structure of blends of π-conjugated electron donor polymers and soluble fullerene derivative electron acceptors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The bulk heterojunction structure was originally introduced by Yu et al [12], in which the electron donor and acceptor are organized in a bicontinuously interpenetrating phase separation.…”

We report high photovoltaic performance of a novel donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymer poly[2,6[4,8-bis(2-ethyl-hexyl)benzo[1,2-b;4,5-b']dithiophene-co-2,5-thiophene-co-4,7[5,6-bis-octyloxy-benzo[1,2,5]thiadiazole]-co-2,5-thiophene] (PBDTTBTZT) in bulk heterojunctions with [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC70BM). A power conversion efficiency (PCE) of more than 7% is obtained for optimized charge-extracting electrodes. Upon application of thermal stress via annealing, a superior thermal stability is demonstrated as compared to poly[N-9″-hepta-decanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT).
