Abstract

A bulk tri(octyloxy)benzene moiety grafted onto fullerene (PCBB-C8) was successfully synthesized, which could effectively induce poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) to form highly ordered bulk heterojunction structure without any external treatment. This ordered active layer exhibits good photovoltaic performance.
