Addition of P3HT-grafted Silica nanoparticles improves bulk-heterojunction morphology in P3HT-PCBM blends
We present molecular dynamics simulations of a ternary blend of P3HT, PCBM and P3HT-grafted silica nanoparticles (SiNP) for applications in polymer-based solar cells. Using coarse-grained models, we study the effect of SiNP on the spatial arrangement of PCBM in P3HT. Our results suggest that addition of SiNP not only alters the morphology of PCBM clusters but also improves the crystallinity of ...
متن کاملSoluble P3HT-grafted graphene for efficient bilayer-heterojunction photovoltaic devices.
CH(2)OH-terminated regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) was chemically grafted onto carboxylic groups of graphene oxide (GO) via esterification reaction. The resultant P3HT-grafted GO sheets (G-P3HT) are soluble in common organic solvents, facilitating the structure/property characterization and the device fabrication by solution processing. The covalent linkage and the strong electronic ...
متن کاملPS-b-P3HT copolymers as P3HT/PCBM interfacial compatibilizers for high efficiency photovoltaics.
A conducting diblock copolymer of PS-b-P3HT was added to serve as a compatibilizer in a P3HT/PCBM blend, which improved the power-conversion efficiency from 3.3% to 4.1% due to the enhanced crystallinity, morphology, interface interaction, and depth profile of PCBM.
متن کاملSynthesis of thienyl analogues of PCBM and investigation of morphology of mixtures in P3HT
Novel [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) analogues containing benzo[b]thiophene (3a, 3b) and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (3c, 3d) were synthesized and characterized. The morphology of the thin films prepared from the mixtures of these methanofullerenes with regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) was investigated by AFM measurement and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. A solubility t...
متن کاملEnhancing Power Conversion Efficiency of P3HT/PCBM Polymer Solar Cells
In this research, n-dodecylthiol was added to P3HT/ PC70BM polymer solar cells to improve the crystallinity of P3HT and enhance the phase separation of P3HT/PC70BM. The improved crystallinity of P3HT:PC70BM doped with 0-5% by volume of ndodecylthiol resulted in improving the power conversion efficiency of polymer solar cells by 33%. In addition, thermal annealing of the P3HT/PC70MB/n-dodecylthi...
