Nucleation driving force-controlled fibril network formation using a non-halogenated solvent enables polythiophene solar cells with over 18% efficiency
Classical Nucleation Theory guides fibril network formation in polythiophene-based photoactive blend using a non-halogenated solvent. Solar cells thus achieved 18.12% efficiency and 79.17% fill factor, both record-high for polythiophenes.
