The molded PLA-RWF composites were characterized using gel permeation chromatography, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, tensile testing machine, and a dynamic mechanical analyzer.

The research community has made great progress in the field of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) polymer solar cells since its inception in 1995.

In this study, fully solution-processed polymer bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells with anodes made from silver nanowires (Ag NWs) have been successfully fabricated with a configuration of Ag NWs/poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT: PSS)/polymer: phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)/Ca/Al.

The addition of CSR and/or CNT decreased the activation energy of the BEP system and slightly increased the glass-transition temperature (Tg) of the filled systems.
