In-Depth Understanding of the Morphology–Performance Relationship in Polymer Solar Cells
It is well-established that thermal
annealing optimizes the morphology and improves the efficiency of
P3HT-based organic solar cells, but the effects of different cooling
rates after annealing are not well understood. In this paper, we
use a model system based on polyÂ(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl-C<sub>61</sub>-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) to examine the relationship
between morphology and device performance for annealing before (preannealing)
and after (postannealing) the application of the electrode, with different
cooling rates and in different device architectures. In the conventional
structure, postannealing is confirmed to significantly enhance efficiency.
The device prepared with a slow cooling rate (3.6%) shows a higher
average power conversion efficiency than that prepared with a fast
cooling rate (3.3%). The microstructural changes underlying this 10%
increase in device performance and further effects of cooling rate,
pre- and postannealing, and device architecture are comprehensively
examined with a combination of synchrotron-based techniques, including
grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering, near-edge X-ray absorption
fine structure spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
The best device in the conventional architecture (postannealed with
slow cooling rate) shows a more face-on orientation and narrower orientational
distribution of P3HT crystallites. In addition, postannealing leads
to PCBM diffusion toward the blend/top electrode interface. The enrichment
of PCBM at the blend/top electrode interface plays a positive role
in aiding electron collection at the electrode in the conventional
structure, but it has a negative effect on the performance of the
inverted structure, where hole collection at the top electrode instead
is required. For this reason, in an inverted structure, preannealed
films with slow cooling exhibit the best photovoltaic performance

IntroductionThe highly conserved tubby-like proteins (TLPs) play key roles in animal neuronal development and plant growth. The abiotic stress tolerance function of TLPs has been widely explored in plants, however, little is known about comparative studies of TLPs within crops.MethodsBioinformatic identification, phylogenetic analysis, Cis-element analysis, expression analysis, Cis-element analysis, expression analysis and so on were explored to analysis the TLP gene family of multiple crops.ResultsIn this study, a comprehensive analysis of TLP genes were carried out in seven crops to explore whether similar function of TLPs in rice could be achieved in other crops. We identified 20, 9, 14, 11, 12, 35, 14 and 13 TLP genes in Glycine max, Hordeum vulgare, Sorghum bicolor, Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa Japonica, Triticum aestivum, Setaria italic and Zea mays, respectively. All of them were divided into two groups and ten orthogroups (Ors) based on amino acids. A majority of TLP genes had two domains, tubby-like domain and F-box domain, while members of Or5 only had tubby-like domain. In addition, Or5 had more exons and shorter DNA sequences, showing that characteristics of different Ors reflected the differentiated function and feature of TLP genes in evolutionary process, and Or5 was the most different from the other Ors. Besides, we recognized 25 cis-elements in the promoter of TLP genes and explored multiple new regulation pathway of TLPs including light and hormone response. The bioinformatic and transcriptomic analysis implied the stresses induced expression and possible functional redundancy of TLP genes. We detected the expression level of 6 OsTLP genes at 1 to 6 days after seed germination in rice, and the most obvious changes in these days were appeared in OsTLP10 and OsTLP12.DiscussionCombined yeast two-hybrid system and pull down assay, we suggested that the TLP genes of Or1 may have similar function during seed germination in different species. In general, the results of comprehensive analysis of TLP gene family in multiple species provide valuable evolutionary and functional information of TLP gene family which are useful for further application and study of TLP genes.</p
