Organic photovoltaic devices have attracted a great attention because of their light weight and processability, and the ease of material design on the molecular level. There are a number of reports on organic photovoltaic devices using a variety of dyes1-… 相似文献
With the objective of understanding the kinetic redox properties of triphenylamine derivatives in association with chemical reactions, for their future application in functional organic semiconductor devices, the electrochemical characteristics of 4‐(2,2‐diphenylethenyl)‐N,N‐bis(4‐methylphenyl)‐benzenamine (TPA) were evaluated. Based on cyclic voltammograms of TPA on Pt disk electrodes with diameters of 300 μm and 10 μm at slow and fast scan rates in an acetonitrile solution, the TPA.+ is stable, while the TPA2+ is unstable. Importantly, the unstable TPA2+ appears to break down by a subsequent chemical reaction. A Cottrell plot analysis from chronoamperometry of a solution containing TPA reveals that both the first and second oxidations are one‐electron reactions. Concerning the stabilization mechanism of the first oxidation state of TPA, the results of molecular orbital calculations indicate that the electrons of the HOMO level are distributed in the triphenylamine group, which induces a resonance‐stabilized TPA.+. Based on these results, TPA/TPA.+ is suggested to have a sufficient stability for further application in organic semiconductor devices. 相似文献
For the purpose of developing flexible organic photovoltaic devices, we have fabricated two flexible devices using 5-formyl- 2,2′：5′,2″：5″,2′″-quaterthiophene （4T-CHO）, 5-formyl-2,2′：5′, 2″：5″,2′″：5′″,2″″-quinquethiophene （5T-CHO） and 3,4,9,10-perylenetertracarboxylic dianhydride （PTCDA）. The PET-ITO/4T-CHO/PTCDA/A1 device has an open circuit voltage （Voc） of 1.56 V, photoelectric conversion efficiency of 0.77%. The PET-ITO/5T-CHO/PTCDA/A1 device has a Voc of 1.70 V, photoelectric conversion efficiency of 0.84%. The two flexible devices have high Voc （1.56 and 1.70 V）. It is possible that intermolecular hydrogen bonding between -CHO group of nT-CHO and carboxylic dianhydride of PTCDA contributes to enhancing the efficiency by promoting interfacial electron transfer and eliminating the subconducting band trap sites. 相似文献
For the purpose of developing novel photovoltaic materials, 5,5″-biformyl-2,2′:5′,2″-terthiophene (OHC-3T-CHO) and 5,5″″-biformyl-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2″′:5″′,2″″-q-uinquethiophene (OHC-5T-CHO) were synthesized. The photovoltaic properties of OHC-3T-CHO and OHC-5T-CHO were studied. We have fabricated two flexible organic photovoltaic devices using OHC-3T-CHO, OHC-5T-CHO, and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA). The PET-ITO (indium tin oxides coated with polyethylene terephthalate)/OHC-3T-CHO/PTCDA/Al device has an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.12 V, and photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.00%, whereas the PET-ITO/OHC-5T-CHO/PTCDA/Al device has a Voc of 1.78 V and PCE of 1.08%. Both devices have high Voc (1.12 V and 1.78 V). It is possible that intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the –CHO group of OHC-nT-CHO and the carboxylic dianhydride of PTCDA enhanced the efficiency by promoting forward interfacial electron transfer. 相似文献

The characteristics of a power producing flexible wire based on organic photovoltaics (OPV) and the processes by which they are produced are described in this paper. A set of materials and coating formulations used on the electrode wires are very similar to those used in the development of two dimensional photovoltaic cells and modules. The active layer of the primary electrode wire comprises the bulk heterojunction-forming P3HT/PCBM (1:1 weight ratio) that has been extensively studied in planar cells. A second wire, which is wrapped around the coated, primary electrode wire, serves as the counter electrode. Ray tracing analysis indicates that light incident on the wires is focused by the cladding onto to the active layer, coated, primary electrode wire even when it is completely shadowed by the counter electrode. Furthermore, when the counter electrode is in a position that partially shadows the primary wire, a significant percentage of the light is reflected by the counter electrode onto the primary electrode. Many hundreds of feet of OPV wire have been produced continuously for experimental purposes, and the process is capable of producing any length of PV wire desired. Efficiency values of a 200 foot spool of PV wire ranges from 2.79% to 3.27%. 相似文献
New aromatic compounds with a pyridazine core have been synthesized. Four electron‐withdrawing monomers have been easily prepared from simple condensation reactions and ring closure procedures. Optimized HOMO, LUMO, and bandgap energy levels have been obtained. The resulting conjugated polymers have been tested in organic solar cells. First studies have revealed power conversion efficiencies up to 0.5% for an active area of 1.0 cm2.
