A dye molecule monolayer formed on a TiO 2 surface is a key component in dye-sensitized solar cells. It is usually formed by adsorbing dye molecules from a solution. The dye layer should absorb as much solar light as possible and convert the light to photoelectrons, which are injected into the TiO 2 conduction band. F…

The micellar self-assembly behavior of a near-monodisperse polystyrene-hydrogenated polyisoprene (PS-PEP) diblock copolymer is examined in non-polar media (either n-heptane or n-dodecane). Direct dissolution of this diblock copolymer leads to the formation of relatively large polydisperse colloidal aggregates that are…

Many high-performance conjugated polymers for organic photovoltaics and transistors crystallize such that chains are parallel, resulting in significant anisotropy of the nanoscale charge transport properties. Here we demonstrate an unusual intercrystallite relationship where thin lamellae adopt a preferred epitaxial r…
