Polymeric solar cells (PSCs) have attracted considerable attention due to their unique characteristics, such as low cost, light weight, and possible flexibility and large-area coverage. In order to obtain high efficiency PSCs, both high performance active materials and interfacial materials are needed. In this presentation, we will report our efforts on the development new conjugated polymer donor and interfacial materials for the interface engineering of high performance PSCs.5 selected references C.
