Over the last decade, polymer solar cells (PSCs) have attracted a lot of attention and highest power conversion efficiencies (PCE) are now close to 10%. Here we employ an optical structure - the microlens array (MLA) - to increase light absorption inside the active layer, and PCE of PSCs increased even for optimized d…

Reactions of the β-diketiminato (‘Nacnac’) stabilized gallium dihydride H2Ga{(NDippCMe)2CH} with a range of mono- and dinuclear metal carbonyl reagents are characterized by loss of dihydrogen and formation of donor/acceptor complexes featuring the Ga(I) carbenoid ligand : Ga{(NDippCMe)2CH}. Thus, far from simply mimic…
