Design and syntheses of donor-acceptor dyads and triads for improved light harvesting in organic photovoltaics

All organic photovoltaics (OPVs) undergo four major processes to convert sunlight in electrical energy. The first process is the absorbance of sunlight. Due to the limit of available acceptor molecules, the burden of light absorbance weighs heavily on the donor material. This thesis focuses heavily...
