Co-Solvent on the Solution of 2 Plastic Components

Caption

Infographic that shows the effect of the co-solvent on the solution of two plastic components (polymer and fullerene molecules) during the production process of the plastic solar cell. Without the co-solvent droplets of fullerene molecules are formed which restrict the efficiency of the solar cell. With the co-solvent the polymer molecules fold much more quickly, so that droplets can't be formed.
