Thermally induced structural evolution and performance of mesoporous block copolymer-directed alumina perovskite solar cells. by Tan, K, Moore, D, Saliba, M, Sai, H, Estroff, L, Hanrath, T, Snaith, H, Wiesner, U

“…Finally, we demonstrate how understanding the processing parameters provides the foundation needed for optimal perovskite film morphology and coverage, leading to enhanced block copolymer-directed perovskite solar cell performance.…”

Improved conductivity in dye-sensitised solar cells through block-copolymer confined TiO2 crystallisation by Guldin, S, Huettner, S, Tiwana, P, Orilall, M, Uelguet, B, Stefik, M, Docampo, P, Kolle, M, Divitini, G, Ducati, C, Redfern, S, Snaith, H, Wiesner, U, Eder, D, Steiner, U

“…In contrast to earlier methods, the high temperature stability of mesoporous titania is enabled by the self-assembly of the amphiphilic block copolymer polyisoprene-block-polyethylene oxide (PI-b -PEO) which compartmentalises TiO2 crystallisation, preventing the collapse of porosity at temperatures up to 700 °C. …”

Layer-by-layer formation of block-copolymer-derived TiO(2) for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells. by Guldin, S, Docampo, P, Stefik, M, Kamita, G, Wiesner, U, Snaith, H, Steiner, U

“…Here, a study on the temporal evolution of block-copolymer-directed mesoporous TiO(2) films during annealing and calcination is presented. …”

Control of Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Performance by Block-Copolymer-Directed TiO2 Synthesis by Docampo, P, Guldin, S, Stefik, M, Tiwana, P, Orilall, M, Huettner, S, Sai, H, Wiesner, U, Steiner, U, Snaith, H

Self-assembly as a design tool for the integration of photonic structures into excitonic solar cells by Guldin, S, Docampo, P, Hüttner, S, Kohn, P, Stefik, M, Snaith, H, Wiesner, U, Steiner, U

“…An alternative route is based on the fact that the refractive index of the mesoporous layer can be finely tuned by the interplay between block copolymer self-assembly and hydrolytic TiO 2 sol-gel chemistry. …”

A bicontinuous double gyroid hybrid solar cell. by Crossland, E, Kamperman, M, Nedelcu, M, Ducati, C, Wiesner, U, Smilgies, D, Toombes, G, Hillmyer, M, Ludwigs, S, Steiner, U, Snaith, H

“…The freestanding gyroid network is fabricated by electrochemical deposition into the 10 nm wide voided channels of a self-assembled, selectively degradable block copolymer film. The highly ordered pore structure is ideal for uniform infiltration of an organic hole transporting material, and solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells only 400 nm thick exhibit up to 1.7% power conversion efficiency. …”
