Organic photovoltaic materials and thin-film solar cells

Organic photovoltaic materials are of interest for their future applications in solar cells. Compared to inorganic or dye-sensitized solar cells, organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells offer a huge potential for low-cost large-area solar cells because of their low material consumption per area and easy processing. In the last few years, there have seen an unprecedented growth of interest in OPVs with power conversion efficiency of over 5% attainable. However, OPV’s performance is limited by the narrow light absorption, poor charge carries mobility, and low stability of organic materials, all of which confine its large-scale commercial applications. This review will develop a discussion on the OPV device configuration and operational mechanism after an introduction of the general features of OPV materials. Subsequently, the typical progresses in materials development and performance evolution in recent years will be summarized. The future challenges and prospects faced by organic photovoltaics will be discussed. Finally, the innovative strategy on research of molecular design and device optimization will be suggested with the aim for practical application.

Recent studies on small molecular and polymeric hole-transporting materials for high-performance perovskite solar cells

A decade of significant research has led to the emergence of photovoltaic solar cells based on perovskites that have achieved an exceptionally high-power conversion efficiency of 26.08%. A key breakthrough in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) occurred when solid hole-transporting materials (HTMs) replaced liquid electrolytes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), because HTMs play a crucial role in improving photovoltaic performance as well as cell stability. This review is mainly focused on the HTMs that are responsible for hole transport and extraction in PSCs, which is one of the crucial components for efficient devices. Here, we have reviewed small molecular as well as polymeric HTMs that have been reported in the last two years and discussed their performance based on the analysis of their molecular architectures. Finally, we include a perspective on the molecular engineering of new functional HTMs for highly efficient stable PSCs.

Ternary Blend Strategy for Achieving High-Efficiency Organic Photovoltaic Devices for Indoor Applications

Monomeric perylene diimide (PDI) small molecules display a high absorption coefficient and crystallinity in solid-state thin films due to strong π–π interactions between the molecules. To take advantage of these exciting properties of PDIs, N,N'-bis(1-ethylpropyl)perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide (EP-PDI) was mixed with a binary blend of PTB7 and PC₇₁BM to fabricate an efficient ternary blend, which were in turn used to produce organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices well suited to indoor applications (PTB7=poly({4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene-2,6-diyl}{3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl]thieno[3,4-b]thiophenediyl}), PC₇₁BM=[6,6]-phenyl-C₇₁-butyric acid methyl ester). We varied the PC₇₁BM/EP-PDI weight ratio to investigate the influence of EP-PDI on the optical, electrical, and morphological properties of the PTB7:PC₇₁BM:EP-PDI ternary blend. Compared with the reference PTB7:PC₇₁BM binary blend, the ternary blends showed strong optical absorption in the wavelength range in which the spectra of indoor LED lamps show their strongest peaks. The addition of EP-PDI to the binary blend was found to play an important role in altering the morphology of the blend in such a way as to facilitate charge transport in the resulting ternary blend. Apparently, as a result, the optimal PTB7:PC₇₁BM:EP-PDI-based inverted OPV device exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.68 %, a fill factor (FF) of 68.5 %, and short-circuit current density (J_SC) of 56.7 μA cm⁻² under 500 lx (ca. 0.17 mW cm⁻²) indoor LED light conditions.

Development of electron and hole selective contact materials for perovskite solar cells

Nowadays, both n-i-p and p-i-n perovskite solar cells (PSCs) device structures are reported to give high performance with photo conversion efficiencies (PCEs) above 20%. The efficiency of the PSCs is fundementally determined by the charge selective contact materials. Hence, by introducing proper contact materials with good charge selectivity, one could potentially reduce interfacial charge recombination as well as increase device performance. In the past few years, copious charge selective contact materials have been proposed. Significant improvements in the corresponding devices were observed and the reported PCEs were close to that of classic Spiro-OMeTAD. This mini-review summarizes the state-of-the-art progress of typical electron/hole selective contact materials for efficient perovskite solar cells and an outlook to their development is made.

An acrylated fullerene derivative for efficient and thermally stable polymer solar cells

The continuous microstructure evolution occurring in active layers of polymer-fullerene solar cells is one of the main causes for their device instability. With aim to tackle it, this work developed a new polymerizable fullerene acceptor, [6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁-butyl acrylate (PC₆₁BA). It was found that PC₆₁BA has similar light-absorption properties and HOMO and LUMO energy levels as [6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PC₆₁BM), and can be converted into insoluble oligomers upon heating at 150 °C. Polymer-fullerene solar cells using poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as donor and PC₆₁BA as acceptor exhibited an optimized efficiency of 3.54%, the performance comparable to P3HT/PC₆₁BM cells (optimized efficiency: 3.70%). But, the former possess much better thermal stability than the latter owing to aggregation suppression by the polymerized PC₆₁BA. These results indicate that PC₆₁BA, unlike most previous reported, is a unique polymerizable fullerene derivative that can be used alone as acceptor to achieve both efficient and thermally stable polymer solar cells.     

A new binaphthol based hole-transporting materials for perovskite solar cells

A novel hole-transporting material (Q221) is synthesized by introducing benzyl groups onto the 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol central core as edge chains and bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amine-substituted 9H-carbazole as donor groups. A reference molecule (Q222) is prepared with hexyl edge chains. The introduction of edge chains influences their molecular orbital energy levels. Q221-based CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite solar cells with carbon counter electrode exhibit the highest power conversion efficiency of 10.37% at a low doping level of Li-TFSI/TBP (15 mM/100 mM), and that of Q222-based cells is 8.87%. Q221-based cells doping with Li-TFSI/TBP of 15 mM/100 mM shows much better photovoltaic parameters compared to those doping with Li-TFSI/TBP of 30 mM/200 mM, when aged in ambient air of 30% RH without encapsulation. The new binaphthol based hole-transporting materials shows a great potential in fabricating effective perovskite solar cells.

The evolution of organic materials for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells

In the past three decades, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have gained increased recognition as a potential substitute for inexpensive photovoltaic (PV) devices, and their maximum efficiency has grown from 7% to 14.3%. Recent developments in DSSCs have attracted a plethora of research activities geared at realizing their full potential. DSSCs have seen a revival as the finest technology for specific applications with unique features such as low-cost, non-toxic, colourful, transparent, ease of fabrication, flexibility, and efficient indoor light operation. Several organic materials are being explored and employed in DSSCs to enhance their performance, robustness, and lower production costs to be viable alternatives in the solar cell markets. This review provides a concise summary of the developments in the field over the past decade, with a special focus on the incorporation of organic materials into DSSCs.

Electrochemical impedance characterization and photovoltaic performance of N719 dye‐sensitized solar cells using quaternized ammonium iodide containing polyfluorene electrolyte solutions

This study develops a series of titanium oxide electrode‐based N719 dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using quaternized ammonium iodide containing main‐chain and star‐shaped polyfluorene (MPF‐E and SPF‐E) electrolyte solutions. The electrochemical impedance and photovoltaic properties of the polyfluorene electrolyte‐based DSSCs were studied and compared to those of the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) electrolyte‐based DSSCs. As with the PEO electrolyte‐based DSSCs, the recombination impedance increased with increase in the polymer content for the MPF‐E electrolyte‐based DSSCs, whereas the photovoltaic performance did otherwise. Nevertheless, the reduction in the photovoltaic properties was not significant for the SPF‐E electrolyte‐based DSSCs. The electrochemical impedance and photovoltaic properties of the different polymer‐based DSSCs are also discussed as a function of the polymer concentration.
