1. The photodegradation of polymer solar cells depends on the chemical structure of the active layer materials. – (Thesis)
2. All (non-)fullerene polymer solar cells degrade. The difference in their stability, however, lies in the underlying mechanisms. – (Thesis)
3. 1,8-diiodooctane is a photoacid. – (Thesis, Chapter 5)
4. Ternary blend solar cells can be more efficient and photostable. – (Thesis, Chapter 6)
5. The trade-off between the efficiency and stability of polymer solar cells is so far unavoidable. – (Thesis)
6. Collaborative work is like a game of a football team. At the end of the match, you either lose, draw, or win.
7. Research is a way of life. It is equally a challenge. When taken on, one can be amazed at his/her level of innovation.
8. Money is not the medicine against death. It is equally not the medicine for education. – (Ghanaian Proverb with Nutifafa’s touch)
9. Recommendations are advice. What to do with them lies in the hand of the individual: follow or discard them.
10. An ugly child of your own is more to you than a beautiful one belonging to your neighbor. – Ganda Proverb
