Controlling the surface composition of PCBM in P3HT/PCBM blend films by using mixed solvents with different evaporation rates

The surface composition of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) and fullerene derivative [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT/PCBM) blend films could be changed by controlling the film formation process via using mixed solvents with different evaporation rates. The second solvent, with a higher boiling point than that of the first solvent and much better solubility for PCBM than P3HT, is chosen to mix with the first solvent with a lower boiling point and good solubility for both PCBM and P3HT. The slow evaporation rate of the second solvent provides enough time for PCBM to diffuse upwards during the solvent evaporation. Thus, the weight ratio of PCBM and P3HT (m _PCBM/m _P3HT) at surface of the blend films was varied from ca. 0.1 to ca. 0.72, i.e., it increases about seven times by changing from single solvent to mixed solvents. Meanwhile, the mixed solvents were in favor to form P3HT naonofiber network and enhance phase separation of P3HT/PCBM blend films. As a result, the power conversion efficiency of the device from mixed solvents with slow evaporation process was about 1.5 times of the one from single solvents.     

Characterization and Distribution of Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) Phases in an Annealed Blend Film

The characteristic absorption spectra of three kinds of phases, the isolated, ordered, and disordered phases, in a solvent‐vapor annealed poly(3‐hexylthiophene)/[6,6]‐phenyl‐C₆₁‐butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT/PCBM) blend film were studied by means of spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) and time‐resolved absorption spectroscopy (TAS). The results reveal that the content of three phases are 12 % isolated, 37 % ordered, and 51 % disordered for the annealed P3HT neat film, and 25 % isolated, 31 % ordered, and 44 % disordered for the annealed P3HT/PCBM blend film. The vertical distribution of the different phases in the blend film was studied by SEC, and the results show that the ordered and isolated phases are mainly distributed in the top and in the bottom of the annealed films, respectively, while the disordered phase is mainly distributed in the middle and the bottom of the films.     

Photoluminescence Study on Charge Transfer Behavior of Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) and PCBM Blends

Charge transfer behavior of Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]‐phenyl‐C₆₁‐butyric acid methyl eser (PCBM) in solutions and in films were examined by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. PL study in solutions indicated that separation distance between P3HT and PCBM affected charge transfer efficiency more seriously than the interface area issue between P3HT and PCBM. P3HT/PCBM film showed very effective photo‐induced charge transfer before post‐thermal annealing on the bi‐layer P3HT/PCBM film. Charge transfer efficiency was gradually diminished by the annealing‐induced phase separation between P3HT and PCBM as revealed by increasing PL emission intensity of P3HT.

利用旋转涂膜方法制备了以P3HT:PCBM为有源层的聚合物太阳能电池, 器件结构为ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM/Al(氧化铟锡导电玻璃/聚二氧乙基噻吩:聚对苯乙烯磺酸/聚三已基噻酚:富勒烯衍生物/铝),研究了退火温度对聚合物太阳能电池性能的影响. 实验发现: 聚合物薄膜经过120 °C退火10 min处理后, 开路电压(V_oc)达到0.64 V, 短路电流密度(J_sc)为10.25 mA·cm^-2, 填充因子(FF) 38.1%, 光电转换效率(PCE)达到2.00%. 为了讨论其内在机制, 对不同退火条件下聚合物薄膜进行了各种表征. 从紫外-可见吸收光谱中发现, 退火处理使P3HT在可见光范围内吸收加强且吸收峰展宽, 特别是在560和610 nm处的吸收强度明显增大; X射线衍射(XRD)结果表明, 120 °C退火后P3HT在(100)晶面上的衍射强度是未退火薄膜的2.8倍, 有利于光生载流子的输运; 原子力显微镜(AFM)研究结果表明, 退火显著增大了P3HT与PCBM的相分离程度, 提高了激子解离的几率; 傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱验证了退火并没有引起聚合物材料物性的变化.     

Conjugated polymer‐functionalized graphite oxide sheets thin films for enhanced photovoltaic properties of polymer solar cells

In this study, the maleimide‐thiophene copolymer‐functionalized graphite oxide sheets (PTM21‐GOS) and carbon nanotubes (PTM21‐CNT) were developed for polymer solar cell (PSC) applications. The grafting of PTM21‐OH onto the CNT and GO sheets was confirmed using FTIR spectroscopy. PTM21‐CNT and PTM21‐GOS exhibited excellent dispersal behavior in organic solvents. Better thermal stability was observed for PTM21‐CNT and PTM21‐GOS as compared with that for PTM21‐OH. In addition, the optical band gaps of PTM21‐GOS and PTM21‐CNT were lower than that of PTM21‐OH. We incorporated PTM21‐GOS and PTM21‐CNT individually into poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT)/[6,6]‐phenyl‐C₆₁‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blends for use as photoconversion layers of PSCs. Good distributional homogeneity was observed for PTM21‐GOS or PTM21‐CNT in the P3HT/PCBM blend film. The UV–vis absorption peaks of the blend films red‐shifted slightly upon increasing the content of PTM21‐GOS or PTM21‐CNT. The band gap energies and LUMO/HOMO energy levels of the P3HT/PTM21‐GOS and P3HT/PTM21‐CNT blend films were slightly lower than those of the P3HT film. The conjugated polymer‐functionalized PTM21‐GOS and PTM21‐CNT behaved as efficient electron acceptors and as charge‐transport assisters when incorporated into the photoactive layers of the PSCs. PV performance of the PSCs was enhanced after incorporating PTM21‐GOS or PTM21‐CNT in the P3HT/PCBM blend. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys, 2013     

Inverted polymer solar cells with a solution-processed zinc oxide thin film as an electron collection layer

A solution-processed zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film as an electron collection layer for polymer solar cells (PSCs) with an inverted device structure was investigated. Power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of PSCs made with a blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) are 3.50% and 1.21% for PSCs with and without the ZnO thin film, respectively. Light intensity dependence of the photocurrent and the capacitance-voltage measurement demonstrate that the increased PCEs are due to the restriction of the strong bimolecular recombination in the interface when a thin ZnO layer is inserted between the polymer active layer and the ITO electrode. These results demonstrate that the ZnO thin film plays an important role in the performance of PSCs with an inverted device structure.     

Quantitative nanoorganized structural evolution for a high efficiency bulk heterojunction polymer solar cell

We have developed an improved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) model and analysis methodology to quantitatively evaluate the nanostructures of a blend system. This method has been applied to resolve the various structures of self-organized poly(3-hexylthiophene)/C61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT/PCBM) thin active layer in a solar cell from the studies of both grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD). Tuning the various length scales of PCBM-related structures by a different annealing process can provide a flexible approach and better understanding to enhance the power conversion of the P3HT/PCBM solar cell. The quantitative structural characterization by this method includes (1) the mean size, volume fraction, and size distribution of aggregated PCBM clusters, (2) the specific interface area between PCBM and P3HT, (3) the local cluster agglomeration, and (4) the correlation length of the PCBM molecular network within the P3HT phase. The above terms are correlated well with the device performance. The various structural evolutions and transformations (growth and dissolution) between PCBM and P3HT with the variation of annealing history are demonstrated here. This work established a useful SAXS approach to present insight into the modeling of the morphology of P3HT/PCBM film. In situ GISAXS measurements were also conducted to provide informative details of thermal behavior and temporal evolution of PCBM-related structures during phase separation. The results of this investigation significantly extend the current knowledge of the relationship of bulk heterojunction morphology to device performance.     

Effect of multiple adduct fullerenes on charge generation and transport in photovoltaic blends with poly(3‐hexylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl)

The effect of replacing [6,6]‐phenyl‐C₆₁ butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) by its multiadduct analogs (bis‐PCBM and tris‐PCBM) in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells with poly(3‐hexylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl) (P3HT) is studied in terms of blend film microstructure, photophysics, electron transport properties, and device performance. Although the power conversion efficiency of the blend with bis‐PCBM is similar to the blend with PCBM, the performance of the devices with tris‐PCBM is considerably lower as a result of small photocurrent. Despite the lower electron affinity of the fullerene multiadducts, μs‐ms transient absorption measurements show that the charge generation efficiency is similar for all three fullerenes. The annealed blend films with multiadducts show a lower degree of fullerene aggregation and lower P3HT crystallinity than the annealed blend films with PCBM. We conclude that the reduction in performance is due largely to poorer electron transport in the blend films from higher adducts, due to the poorer fullerene network formation as well as the slower electron transport within the fullerene phase, confirmed here by field effect transistor measurements. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Modifying transparent electrode with conjugated organic semiconductor hole transport material as interface for enhancing performance of organic solar cell

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is used as a substrate was covered with 4-[4-(4-methoxy-N-naphthalen-2-ylanilino) phenyl] benzoic acid (MNA) as a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl)-propyl-1-phenyl-(6,6) C₆₁ (PCBM) were mixed and used as a donor–acceptor in organic solar cell (OSC). The MNA (SAM) layer is used as an interface instead of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) for hole injection. The HOMO-LUMO energy level of MNA-SAM molecule and the electronic charge distribution were calculated theoretically using Chemissian software. The HOMO-LUMO energy level of the MNA is calculated as E_HOMO = ?5.10 eV and E_LUMO = ?1.60 eV. The OSC modified with MNA showed an efficient performance in the absence of PEDOT: PSS as hole transport layer. The annealing of the ITO/SAM/P3HT: PCBM films at different temperatures are also investigated to study the effect of reducing defects. The interface structures of the organic semiconductor layer on ITO were characterized by Atomic Force Microcopy (AFM). In addition, Kelvin Probe Microscopy (KPM) is used to understand how the annealing changes the surface potential energy of the ITO/SAM substrate. Using the KPM method, which measures the surface potential energy of the films, the energy bands of the ITO were increased to maximum 5.09 eV. The ITO/SAM/P3HT: PCBM film's surface potential was determined to be 0.18 eV after being annealed at 80 °C. The surface potential of the modified films was discovered to be 0.33 V and 0.39 V when the annealing temperature was raised from 80 °C to 120 °C and 160 °C. The maximum device efficiency was demonstrated by the ITO/SAM/P3HT: PCBM film after an hour of annealing at 160 °C.     

Effects of amorphous poly(3‐hexylthiophene) on active‐layer structure and solar cells performance

A key challenge to the development of polymer‐based organic solar cells is the issue of long‐term stability, which is mainly caused by the unstable time‐dependent morphology of active layers. In this study, poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT)/[6,6]‐phenyl C60‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blend is used as a model system to demonstrate that the long‐term stability of power conversion efficiency can be significantly improved by the addition of a small amount of amorphous regiorandom P3HT into semicrystalline regioregular one. The optical properties measured by UV–vis absorption and photoluminescence reveal that regiorandom P3HT can intimately mix with PCBM and prevent the segregation of PCBM. In addition, X‐ray scattering techniques were adopted to evidence the retardation of phase separation between P3HT and PCBM when regiorandom P3HT is added, which is further confirmed by optical microscopy that shows a reduction of large PCBM crystals after annealing at high temperature in the presence of regiorandom P3HT. The improvement of the long‐term stability is attributed to the capability of amorphous P3HT to be thermodynamically miscible with PCBM, which allows the active layer to form a more stable structure that evolves slower and hence decelerates the device decay. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of thermal annealing on the microstructure of P3HT thin film investigated by RAIR spectroscopy

The influence of thermal annealing on the structural ordering and orientation rearrangement of as cast P3HT thin film (<100 nm) has been studied by reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIR). In order to erase the effect of temperature on the spectral intensity, two thermal procedures have been used to investigate the annealing-induced structural change of P3HT thin film. One is the continuous heating mode, in which the RIAR spectra were in situ collected during the heating process. The other is the stepwise heating mode, that is the isothermal annealing, and the spectra were ex situ collected at room temperature after the thermal treatment. It is found that thermal annealing can enhance the π–π interaction in P3HT crystal domain, whereas the improvement on the degree of crystallinity is not so obviously. Meanwhile, our results suggest that annealing-induced structural rearrangement on π–π stacking is irreversible, whereas the change on hexyl side chain packing is reversible.     

Isothermal crystallization of P3HT:PCBM blends studied by RHC

Defining appropriate annealing temperatures and times is vitally important for increasing the efficiency of bulk heterojunction solar cells by favoring the crystallinity of the polymer-fullerene blend components. In order to better understand the annealing process, the isothermal crystallization of poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blend investigated by means of rapid heating cooling calorimetry (RHC). Isothermal crystallization experiments at temperatures in between the glass transition and melting, within the temperature range of 70–150 °C, can successfully be performed since RHC permits cooling at a sufficiently high rate in order to prevent crystallization during cooling. Crystallization isotherms were determined from the subsequent melting behavior of the blend. They were measured for a wide set of annealing temperatures and times, and the evolution of the crystallization rate with temperature is compared for annealing from the glassy state and from the melt state.     

Phase diagram of P3HT:PC70BM thin films based on variable-temperature spectroscopic ellipsometry

In this article, we present the research on the influence of the composition of thin films of a blend of poly (3-hexylthiophene −2,5-diyl) - P3HT with fullerene derivatives [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester – PC70BM and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester – PC60BM on their thermal transitions. The influence of molar mass (Mw) of P3HT (Mw = 65.2; 54.2 and 34.1 kDa) and PCBM (PC60BM – Mw = 911 g/mol and PC70BM – Mw = 1031 g/mol) is examined in details. The article presents significantly expanded research compared to our previous work on thermal transitions in thin films of blend P3HT (Mw = 65.2 kDa) with PC60BM. For this reason, we also compare current results with previous ones. Here, we present for the first time a phase diagram of thin films of the P3HT(Mw = 65.2 kDa):PC70BM blend using variable-temperature ellipsometry. Our research reveals the presence of characteristic temperatures of pure phases in thin films of P3HT: PCBM blends. It turns out that the cold crystallization temperature of the P3HT phase in P3HT(Mw = 65.2 kDa):PC70BM blend films is lower than corresponding temperature in P3HT(Mw = 65.2 kDa):PC60BM blend films. At the same time, the cold crystallization temperature of the PC70BM phase behaves inversely. We demonstrate also that variable-temperature spectroscopic ellipsometry is a very sensitive technique for studying thermal transitions in these thin films. In addition, we show that the entire phase diagram can be determined based on the raw ellipsometric data analysis, e.g. using a delta angle at wavelength λ = 280 nm.     

Impact of side‐chain length on the phase structures of P3ATs and P3AT:PCBM films as revealed by SSNMR and FTIR

It is known that poly(3‐alkylthiophene) (P3AT) side‐chain length notably influences the photovoltaic performances of relating devices. However, comprehensively study on its impact on the structures of P3ATs and their blends with [6, 6]‐phenyl‐C₆₁ butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is insufficient. By using solid‐state NMR and FTIR techniques, four P3ATs and their PCBM blends are investigated in this work, focusing on the phase structures as modulated by side‐chain length. Recently, we revealed multiple crystalline main‐chain packings of packing a and b together with a mesophase in poly(3‐butylthiophene) (P3BT) films (DOI: 10.1021/acs.macromol.6b01828). Here, the semicrystalline structures are investigated on poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT), poly(3‐octylthiophene) (P3OT), and poly(3‐dodecylthiophene) (P3DDT) with traditional form I modification, where packing a and the amorphous phase are probed. Furthermore, crystallized side chain within packing a is detected in both P3OT and P3DDT films, which shows a FTIR absorption at 806 cm⁻¹. Structural studies are also conducted on P3AT:PCBM blends. Compared with the pure P3ATs, the polymer crystallinities of the blends show reduction of about 40% for P3OT and P3DDT, whereas only about 10% for P3HT. Moreover, in P3BT:PCBM and P3HT:PCBM, the crystalline polymers and PCBM are phase separated, while in P3OT:PCBM and P3DDT:PCBM, blend components are mostly miscible. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Transient Absorption Spectroscopy Studies on Polythiophene–Fullerene Bulk Heterojunction Organic Blend Films Sensitized with a Low‐Bandgap Polymer

Recently, the concept of near‐infrared sensitization is successfully employed to increase the light harvesting in large‐bandgap polymer‐based solar cells. To gain deeper insights into the operation mechanism of ternary organic solar cells, a comprehensive understanding of charge transfer–charge transport in ternary blends is a necessity. Herein, P3HT:PCPDTBT:PCBM ternary blend films are investigated by transient absorption spectroscopy. Hole transfer from PCPDTBT‐positive polarons to P3HT in the P3HT:PCPDTBT:PCBM 0.9:0.1:1 blend film can be visualized. This process evolves within 140 ps and is discussed with respect to the proposed charge‐generation mechanisms.

     

The nature of in-plane skeleton Raman modes of P3HT and their correlation to the degree of molecular order in P3HT:PCBM blend thin films

The nature of main in-plane skeleton Raman modes (C=C and C-C stretch) of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) in pristine and its blend thin films with [6,6]-phenyl-C(61)-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is studied by resonant and nonresonant Raman spectroscopy and Raman simulations. Under resonant conditions, the ordered phase of P3HT with respect to its disordered phase is identified by (a) a large shift in the C=C mode peak position to lower wavenumber (~21 cm(-1) shift), (b) a narrower fwhm of the C=C mode (~9 cm(-1) narrower), (c) a larger intensity of the C-C mode relative to the C=C mode (~56% larger), and (d) a very small Raman dispersion (~5 cm(-1)) of the C=C mode. The behavior of the C=C and C-C modes of the ordered and disordered phases of P3HT can be explained in terms of different molecular conformations. The C=C mode of P3HT in P3HT:PCBM blend films can be reproduced by simple superposition of the two peaks observed in different phases of P3HT (ordered and disordered). We quantify the molecular order of P3HT after blending with PCBM and the subsequent thermal annealing to be 42 ± 5% and 94 ± 5% in terms of the fraction of ordered P3HT phase, respectively. The increased molecular order of P3HT in blends upon annealing correlates well with enhanced device performance (J(SC), -4.79 to -8.72 mA/cm(2) and PCE, 1.07% to 3.39%). We demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy (particularly under resonant conditions) is a simple and powerful technique to study molecular order of conjugated polymers and their blend films.     

Interfacial free energy driven nanophase separation in poly(3-hexylthiophene)/[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester thin films

The nanostructure of thermally annealed thin films of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blends on hydrophobic and hydrophilic substrates was studied to unravel the relationship between the substrate properties and the phase structure of polymer blends in confined geometry. Indeed, the nature of the employed substrates was found to affect the extent of phase separation, the PCBM aggregation state and the texture of the whole system. In particular, annealing below the melting temperature of the polymer yielded the formation of PCBM nanometric crystallites on the hydrophobic substrates, while mostly amorphous microscopic aggregates were formed on the hydrophilic ones. Moreover, while an enhanced in-plane orientation of P3HT lamellae was promoted on hydrophobic substrates, a markedly tilted geometry was produced on the hydrophilic ones. The observed effects were interpreted in terms of a simple model connecting the interface free energy for the blend films to the different polymer chain mobility and diffusion velocity of PCBM molecules on the different substrates.

Simultaneous morphological stability and high charge carrier mobilities in donor–acceptor block copolymer/PCBM blends

Donor–acceptor block copolymers (BCP), incorporating poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT), and a polystyrene copolymer with pendant fullerenes (PPCBM) provide desired stable nanostructures, but mostly do not exhibit balanced charge carrier mobilities. This work presents an elegant approach to match hole and electron transport in BCP by blending with molecular PCBM without causing any macrophase separation. An insufficient electron mobility of PPCBM can be widely compensated by adding PCBM which is monitored by the space‐charge limited current method. Using X‐ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry, we verify the large miscibility of the PPCBM:PCBM blend up to 60 wt % PCBM load forming an amorphous, molecularly mixed fullerene phase without crystallization. Thus, blending BCP with PCBM substantially enhances charge transport achieving an electron mobility of μ_e=(3.2 ± 1.7) × 10^?4 cm²V^?1s^?1 and hole mobility of μ_h=(1.8 ± 0.6) × 10^?3 cm²V^?1s^?1 in organic field‐effect transistors (OFET). The BCP:PCBM blend provides a similarly high ambipolar charge transport compared to the established P3HT:PCBM system, but with the advantage of an exceptionally stable morphology even for prolonged thermal annealing. This work demonstrates the feasibility of high charge transport and stable morphology simultaneously in a donor–acceptor BCP by a blend approach. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.
