Morphology characterization in organic and hybrid solar cells
Abstract
Organic and hybrid organic–inorganic photovoltaics are among the most promising options for low-cost and highly scalable renewable energy. In order to fully realize the potential of these technologies, power conversion efficiencies and stability will both have to be improved beyond the current state-of-the-art. The morphology of the active layer is of paramount importance in the photon to electron conversion process in organic and hybrid solar cells, with all length scales, from molecular ordering to intradevice composition variability, playing key roles. Given the central influence of morphology, characterizing the structure of these surprisingly complex material systems at multiple length scales is one of the grand challenges in the field. This review addresses the techniques, some of which have only recently been applied to organic and hybrid photovoltaics, available to scientists and engineers working to understand—and ultimately improve—the operation of these fascinating devices.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
