  • FUNCTIONALIZED NANOSTRUCTURES AND DEVICES INCLUDING PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES
    Publication number: 20170186960
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide functionalized carbon nanostructures for use in various devices, including photovoltaic devices (e.g., solar cells). In some cases, the carbon nanostructures are fullerenes substituted with one or more isobenzofulvene species and/or indane species. Devices including such materials may exhibit increased efficiency, increased open circuit potential, high electron/hole mobility, and/or low electrical resistance.
