But until now the layers were too defective. By analysing the literature and adding our own observations, we have used reverse-pulse electropolymerization to make a relatively perfect layer of plain (unsubstituted) polythiophene. Plain polythiophene has much better resistance to photo-oxidation than alkyl-substituted polythiophenes; it cannot be deposited by solvent evaporation because it is insoluble. We have also produced a small PV cell using electropolymerized polythiophene as electron donor, and carbon nanotubes as acceptor material. }, title = {Electropolymerized PV Cells}, url = {}, volume = {}, number = {}, journal = {}, pages = {428-431}, issn = {}, publisher = {WIP Munich}, doi = {} }
