Interview with Professor Xiaowei Zhan (Peking University, China) Scientific Editor, Journal of Materials Chemistry A What aspect of your research are you most excited about at the moment? A: My group focuses on organic photovoltaics (OPV). The active layer in OPV device consists of electron donor and electron acceptor. Although fullerenes were prevailing acceptor materials in OPV from 1995 to 2015, I doubted if this choice was correct considering their fatal flaws such as weak visible light absorption. In 2006 my group started the non-fullerene OPV research. In 2015 we invented the milestone m ..read more
