Recently, SUSTech Associate Professor Guo Xugang’s group from the Department of Material Sciences and Engineering published their latest research results on all-polymer solar cells (All-PSCs) in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, a top international journal in the field of chemistry (IF=11.994). Titled “Effects of Bithiophene Imide Fusion on the Device Performance of Organic Thin-Film Transistors and All-Polymer Solar Cells”, this work focuses on the design of novel polymer acceptor materials for use in All-PSCs.

Solar energy is inexhaustible. Large-scale use of clean and renewable solar energy is of significant importance to optimize theenergy consumption structure, reduce environmental pollution and relieve the global greenhouse effect. Therefore, developing a cheaper and more efficient photovoltaic technology is an constant topic of solar energy utilization, which concerns the extentto which solar energy can replace fossil fuels in the future.

Recently, SUSTech Associate Professor Xugang Guo’s group from the Department of Material Sciences and Engineering published their latest research results on ladder-type n-channel organic semiconductors (OSCs) in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, a top international journal in the field of chemistry (IF=11.994).
