Sulfonic acid-functionalized, reduced graphene oxide as an advanced interfacial material leading to donor polymer-independent high-performance polymer solar cells

A r-GO with sulfonic acid groups (sr-GO) was newly developed and it showed dramatically concentrated aqueous dispersions with high film conductivity. With the aid of sulfonic acid groups, good compatibility with various HOMO materials was achieved, resulting in PCEs over 7% for sr-GO-based cells with superior device stability to PEDOT:PSS-based devices.
