Photostability of small-molecule (SM)-based organic photovoltaics (SM-OPVs) is greatly improved by utilizing a ternary photo-active layer incorporating a small amount of a conjugated polymer (CP). Semi-crystalline poly[(2,5-bis(2-hexyldecyloxy)phenylene)-alt-(5,6-difluoro-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole)] (PPDT2FBT) and amorphous poly[(2,5-bis(2-decyltetradecyloxy)phenylene)-alt-(5,6-dicyano-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole)] (PPDT2CNBT) with similar chemical structures were used for preparing

Improved performance in flexible organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is demonstrated by using a hybrid nanostructured plasmonic electrode consisting of silver nanowires (AgNWs) decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and covered by exfoliated graphene sheets. Such all-solution processed electrodes show high optical
