"Conducting and semiconducting (conjugated) polymers have a unique set of properties, combining the electronic properties of metals and semiconductors with the processing advantages and mechanical properties of polymers. Now, thirty-five years after their discovery, metallic conducting polymers have been demonstrated in the laboratory to have electrical conductivities approaching that of copper, and mechanical strengths exceeding that of ..."
Organic Photovoltaics(1st Edition) Mechanisms, Materials, and Devices (Optical Science and Engineering) by NiyaziSerdarSariciftci, Sam-Shajing Sun Hardcover, 664 Pages, Published 2005 by Crc Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8247-5963-6, ISBN: 0-8247-5963-X
"Recently developed organic photovoltaics (OPVs) show distinct advantages over their inorganic counterparts due to their lighter weight, flexible shape, versatile materials synthesis and device fabrication schemes, and low cost in large-scale industrial production. Although many books currently exist on general concepts of PV and inorganic PV materials and devices, few are available that offer a comprehensive overview of recently fast de ..."

15.3.2. Open Circuit Voltage The P3OT-SWNT solar cells show high Koc values,
which cannot be explained by the metal-insulator-metal (MIM) model, introduced
by Parker for light emitting diodes [17]. In this model ... From <£iTO = 4.7eV and
0A1=4.3eV, we calculate Koc = 0.4V, which is in good agreement with the
measured Koc = 0.35 V for single P3OT devic ..."
"The papers from this four-day symposium include two talks from the 2000 Nobel Prize winners in chemistry, Professor Alan MacDiarmid and Professor Alan Heeger. The volume emphasizes the broad scientific and technological interest in applications of organic materials to electronics, optics, and optoelectronics. Materials synthesis and modification from the nanoscale to the mesoscale to the macroscale are discussed. Technological applicati ..."
"Symposia H, 'Organic Photovoltaic Devices and Processing', and I, 'Fundamental Processes of Solar Harvesting in Excitonic Solar Cells', were co-ordinated to create an organic photovoltaic super symposium at the 2011 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston from November 28–December 2. Exciting advances were reported in the conference, including achieving 10% energy conversion efficiency, both a psychological barrier and a milestone in organic photovo ..."

"Rapid progress in electronic and optical molecular and polymeric materials has made them key enablers for novel photonic, electronic, and optoelectronic device applications. These applications are broad and include smart cards, flat-panel displays, light-emitting diodes, transistors, photovoltaics, photorefractivity, and optical coatings, to mention just a few. This book brings together researchers from the applied as well as the fundam ..."
