Abstract
The use of carbon nanotube-fullerene hybrid additives to the standard P3HT:PCBM blend bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaic device is presented. The effects of incorporating single-wall carbon nanotubes, functionalized with linked C60 molecules by amination on device characteristics are detailed....
