The morphology dependent of migration and recombination kinetics of charge carriers in the polymer solar cell based on poly {2,7'-9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-5-diethylhexyl-3,6-bis(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)pyrrolo[3,4-c]-pyrrole-1,4-dione}(PDPP-F) was investigated with photo-induced charge carrier extraction by linearly increasing voltage technique. The recombination coefficient of charge carriers decreased and the mobility of charge carriers increased, after the mass ratio of[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester(PCBM) increased from 3:2 to 2:1. Meanwhile, both of them were sensitive to the applied electric field and could be together responsible for the improvement of voltage performance of polymer solar cell. 相似文献
The effect of annealing treatment on the photoelectric properties of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) was analyzed by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and solar cell performance. The UV-Vis absorption peaks of P3HT:PCBM thin filmshowed enhancement and a red-shift after thermal annealing. PL and XRD peak intensities increased by annealing treatment. A solar cell based on the blend of P3HT:PCBM was fabricated, and the device performance was significantly improved by thermal annealing. For devices heat-treated at 130 益, open circuit voltage of 0.55 V, short circuit current density of 9.87 mA·cm-2, fill factor of 60.1% and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.26% were achieved under 100 mW·cm-2 air-mass 1.5 solar simulator illumination. 相似文献
Based on a full device model adopting three-dimensional Pauli master equation approach, the charge carrier loss process due to poor extraction channels between electrode and active layer in polymer bulk heterojunction(BHJ) solar cells was studied. The influence of barrier height on device performance was simulated to reveal the importance of electrode improvement. It was found that relatively large extraction barrier height(over 0.40 eV) can lead to the significant diminishing of the overall charge collection efficiency, since bimolecular recombination rate would increase to a high level due to enhanced space charge accumulation effect near electrodes. In contrast, the percentage of charge carrier annihilated due to geminate recombination did not change significantly with barrier height variation. Our simulation results may provide the basis for a more accurate model and potential direction of polymer BHJ solar cells improvement. 相似文献
We have studied the effect of silicon nanocrystals （SiNCs） as a third component on performance of organic bulk heterojunction solar cells composed of poly[2-methoxy,5-（2＇-ethylhexyloxy）-l,4-phenylene vinylene] （MEH- PPV）：[6,6]-phenyI-C61-butyric acid methyl ester （PCBM） blend film. By adding suitable amounts of SiNCs into MEH-PPV：PCBM blend, the device performance such as external quantum efficiency, short circuit current density （Js（）, and power conversion efficiency （PCE） improved. Incorporation of 2.5% SiNCs in the blend led to 13.6% improvement of Jsc, which in turn resulted in 18% improvement of PCE up to 2.28%. The improved performance was mainly due to the improvements both in the charge generation from the interface of MEH-PPV/SiNCs and the charge collection at the cathode. 相似文献
A series of polymer photodetectors with device configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3 HT:PC61 BM/C60/Al were prepared by using P3 HT as the donor material and PC61 BM as the acceptor material. By regulating the content of 1,8-diiodooctane(DIO)(V/V: 1%, 3%, 5%) as a processing additive, the morphology of the active layer can be greatly improved. With C60 as the hole blocking layer, the dark current density of the device can be reduced b... 相似文献
In this study, some crucial parameters were determined of flexible polymer–organic solar cells prepared from an active layer blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and the fullerene derivative [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) mixed in 1:1 mass ratio and deposited from chlorobenzene solution by spin-coating on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/ITO substrates. Additionally, the positive effect of an electron transport layer (ETL) prepared from zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO np) on flexible photovoltaic elements’ performance and stability was investigated. Test devices with above normal architecture and silver back electrodes deposed by magnetron sputtering were constructed under environmental conditions. They were characterized by current-voltage (I–V) measurements, quantum efficiency, impedance spectroscopy, surface morphology, and time–degradation experiments. The control over morphology of active layer thin film was achieved by post-deposition thermal treatment at temperatures of 110–120 °C, which led to optimization of device morphology and electrical parameters. The impedance spectroscopy results of flexible photovoltaic elements were fitted using two R||CPE circuits in series. Polymer–organic solar cells prepared on plastic substrates showed comparable current–voltage characteristics and structural properties but need further device stability improvement according to traditionally constructed cells on glass substrates. 相似文献
Phase separation in the donor‐acceptor blend poly(3‐hexylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl):[6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) during evaporation of a solvent using coarse‐grained molecular dynamics simulations is studied here. To this end, an equilibrated P3HT:PCBM:solvent mixture is placed in an elongated simulation box, after which solvent molecules are removed at regular time intervals from a region above the film. Three often‐used solvents are considered: chloroform (CFM), chlorobenzene (CLB), and orthodichlorobenzene (oDCB). The coarse‐grained solvent–solvent interaction parameters are tuned to reproduce the atmospheric boiling temperatures, while the PCBM–solvent interaction parameters are tuned to reproduce the PCBM solubilities. Other parameters are taken from the literature. During evaporation, the formation of a crust that is depleted of solvent, in which aggregation of P3HT and PCBM occurs, is observed. In agreement with experiment, the top region of the dry film is rich in PCBM for the cases of CLB and oDCB, and rich in P3HT for the case of CFM, while the very top layer of the film is always rich in P3HT. This vertical separation is ascribed to a competition between the tendency of P3HT to move to the surface due to its low surface energy and the different tendencies of PCBM to be dragged along to the surface by the evaporating solvent depending on its solubility. Also in agreement with experiment, the P3HT–PCBM interface area is larger for CLB and oDCB than for CFM. For CLB and oDCB, an indication for a spinodal P3HT–PCBM decomposition starting from the top and bottom surface is found, whereas for CFM the phase separation appears to be initiated in the bulk of the film.
