In this research, bulk-heterojunction cells (Figure 1a) are studied with a unique concept of donor-acceptor (D-A) system pairing as an acceptor within the active layer. The similarity between the band gap reported in PCBM and the novel dyad fullerene derivative (Figure 1b C60-TPA), allowed for a system to be prepared with P3HT. After synthesis and characterization of the dyad, devices were prepared and tested for the Photo-Conversion Energy (PCE).
