Abstract
Although most research in the field of organic bulk heterojunction solar cells has focused on combinations of a p-type conducting polymer as a donor and a fullerene-based acceptor, recent work has demonstrated the viability of solution-processed heterojunctions composed entirely of molecular solids. Molecular solids offer potential advantages over conjugated polymer systems in terms of easier purification, amenability to mass-scale production and better batch-to-batch reproducibility. This article reviews the major classes of molecular donors that have been reported in the literature in the past several years and highlights some of key considerations in molecular heterojunction design compared to polymer-based bulk heterojunctions.
