Abstract: An inverted polymer photovoltaic cell (or solar cell) includes an anode; a first anodic interlayer (buffer layer) based on PEDOT:PSS [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate]; an active layer having at least one photoactive organic polymer as an electron donor and at least one electron acceptor organic compound; a cathodic interlayer (buffer layer); and a cathode. A second anodic interlayer (buffer layer) includes at least one heteropolyacid and, optionally, at least one amino compound is placed between the first anodic interlayer (buffer layer) and the active layer. The inverted polymer photovoltaic cell (or solar cell) shows good values of photoelectric conversion efficiency (power conversion efficiency—PCE) (?) and, in particular, a good level of adhesion between the different layers, more specifically between the active layer and the first anodic interlayer (buffer layer).

Abstract: Aqueous composition comprising: from 0.5% by weight to 5% by weight, preferably from 1% by weight to 4% by weight, with respect to the total weight of said aqueous composition, of at least one conductive polymer; from 1% by weight to 100% by weight, preferably from 2% by weight to 10% by weight, more preferably from 15% by weight to 50% by weight, with respect to the total weight of said at least one conductive polymer, of at least one cellulose ether. Said aqueous composition may advantageously be used as a printable ink or printable paste in various techniques such as, for example, screen printing, gravure printing, flexographic printing, spray coating, slot die coating, spin-coating, ink-jet printing. Preferably, said aqueous composition may advantageously be used as a printable paste for screen printing.

Abstract: Organometallic complex having the formula (IAP)M(X)n which can be used for die formation of catalytic systems wherein: M is a metal selected from transition metals and lanthanides, in oxidation state “s” positive and different from zero; each X is independently a group of an anionic nature bound to the metal as an anion in an ionic couple or with a convalent bond of the “&sgr;” type; “n” expresses the number of X groups sufficient for neutralizing the formal “+s” charge of the metal M, and (IAP) represents a neutral bond consisting of a mono-imine of 2,6-diacylpyridine. Said complex is prepared with relatively simple methods and can be used, combined with a suitable co-catalyst, such as for example, an aluminoxane, as a catalyst in normal (co)polymerization processes of &agr;-olefins, and especially ethylene.
