Abstract
Organic solar cells have attracted considerable interests due to the little restraint in resources as well as the good processability. Objective of this research is improvement of their energy conversion efficiency for practical application by developing novel photoactive materials consisting of nanocarbon composites and low-bandgap conjugated polymers with highly-controlled bulk heterojunction structure.
