Deterioration of bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic devices by a minute amount of oxidized fullerene

Abstract

A chemical model of deterioration of a bulk heterojunction organic solar cell containing a photooxidized product of 1,4-bis(dimethylphenylsilylmethyl)[60]fullerene suggests that molecular oxygen degrades device performance by two mechanisms.
