Abstract

P–n junction solar cells based on anthradithiophene (ADT) as a p-type semiconductor were fabricated by using the photoprecursor method in which an α-diketone-type precursor was spin-coated and then transformed to ADT in situ by photoirradiation. Combination with PC₇₁BM as an n-layer material led to 1.54% photoconversion efficiency.
