Abstract
In this paper advances in the synthesis of conjugated organic and polymeric materials for application as the active layer in organic (OPV) and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) will be reported. A variety of materials ranging from solution processable hexabenzocoronenes to donor-acceptor organic dyes for DSC with alternative electrolyte materials have been studied. As part of the Victorian Organic Solar Cells Consortium (VICOSC) a progress report will be given on scale-up of materials synthesis and deposition processes.
