Open AccessStepwise heating in Stille polycondensation toward no batch-to-batch variations in polymer solar cell performance
For a given π-conjugated polymer, the batch-to-batch variations in molecular weight (Mw) and polydispersity index (Ð) can lead to inconsistent process-dependent material properties and consequent performance vari...
