High open circuit voltage organic solar cells based upon fullerene free bulk heterojunction active layers
We have recently reported on a small organic molecule containing a bithiophene core with end-capping phthalimide units (PthTh2Pth) that exhibited a H-aggregation tendency in the solid state and high electron mobility in organic field effect transistors. In this contribution, we have studied both the physical and electrical properties of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and PthTh2Pth thin films by ...
متن کاملMorphology of polymer/fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells
Within the different organic photovoltaic devices the conjugated polymer/fullerene bulk heterojunction approach is one of the foci of today’s research interest. These devices are highly dependent on the solid state nanoscale morphology of the two components (donor/acceptor) in the photoactive layer. The need for finely phase separated polymer–fullerene blends is expressed by the limited exciton...
متن کاملTuning the properties of polymer bulk heterojunction solar cells by adjusting fullerene size to control intercalation.
We demonstrate that intercalation of fullerene derivatives between the side chains of conjugated polymers can be controlled by adjusting the fullerene size and compare the properties of intercalated and nonintercalated poly(2,5-bis(3-hexadecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (pBTTT):fullerene blends. The intercalated blends, which exhibit optimal solar-cell performance at 1:4 polymer:fuller...
متن کامل1,4-Fullerene derivatives: tuning the properties of the electron transporting layer in bulk-heterojunction solar cells.
Light and flexible photovoltaic devices based on organic materials are extensively studied as an alternative to expensive and fragile silicon-based solar cells. The efficiency of these devices is rapidly increasing with the most recent power conversion efficiency (PCE) of greater than 8% bringing them closer to commercial viability. Further improvements are needed and can be achieved by optimiz...
