By carefully choosing the acceptor co-monomer, the energy levels of the polymers could be modulated and high power conversion efficiencies of 5.52% were reached in OPV devices. date: 2012-01 date_type: published publisher: ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY official_url: https://doi.org/10.1039/c2cc33718e oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1549720 doi: 10.1039/c2cc33718e lyricists_name: Schroeder, Bob lyricists_id: BCSCH40 actors_name: Schroeder, Bob actors_id: BCSCH40 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Chemical Communications volume: 48 number: 62 pagerange: 7699-7701 pages: 3 issn: 1359-7345 citation: Schroeder, BC; Ashraf, RS; Thomas, S; White, AJP; Biniek, L; Nielsen, CB; Zhang, W; ...
