Abstract

A polymer/polymer blend solar cell with an external quantum efficiency approaching 60% and the best power conversion efficiency of 5.73% is fabricated. The efficient charge-carrier generation and collection, comparable to those of polymer/fullerene solar cells, are found to be the main reasons for the superior device performance.
