- The work was supported by EPSRC projects EP/F056710/1, EP/I019278/1, and EP/G037515/1, in collaboration with Solvay SA (https://www.solvay.com/en/). Its key outcome was the development of an effective, low cost synthetic strategy to control the diffusion and crystallisation of fullerenes, a major degradation pathway of organic solar cells. Its industrial potential has been recognised by Solvay SA by the filing of patent No. 14175862.3, European Patent Office (awarded 24/3/2016), and directly led to the funding support for a PhD studentship ( https://spiral.imperial.ac.uk/handle/10044/1/78433) jointly funded by Solvay and EPSRC. The work also led to the award of an EPSRC "Knowledge Transfer Secondment" Award.
