چکیده

Organic solar cells based on a series of water-soluble zinc phthalocyanines (wsZnPc) with varying numbers of sulfonate peripheral substituents and a C60 donor have been fabricated and characterised. We find that the number of substituents affects both the V(oc) and J(sc) of the devices, with the disulfonated wsZnPc devices performing best.

Fabrication of Small-Molecular-Weight Organic Thin-Film Solar Cells by Combination of Wet and Dry Processes

We succeeded to fabricate p-n heterojunction and bulkheterojunction small-molecular-weight organic thin-film solar cells by combination of dry (p-type = zinc phthalocyanine, n-type = fullerene) and wet (p-type = tetra-tert-butyl zinc phthalocyanine, n-type = [6,6]-phenylC61-buteric acid methyl ester) processes. Relationship between morphologies of semiconducting layers and photovoltaic properti...

Photoluminescence Studies on the Supramolecular Interactions Between a Pyrollidinofullerene and Zinc- Phthalocyanine Used in Organic Solar Cells

We present a study of supramolecular interactions between a highly soluble pyrollidinofullerene bearing three chelating pyridyl groups (PyF) and zincphthalocyanine (ZnPc). Photoluminescence quenching shows a non-diffusive concentration dependency, which can be explained by the formation of a non-covalently bonded supramolecular dyad. A further indication for such a complexation is Address corre...

Synthesis of sterically hindered phthalocyanines and their applications to dye-sensitized solar cells.

Phthalocyanines with high peripheral substitutions and free from potential contamination by regioisomers have been synthesized and evaluated as photosensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cell applications. Each of the sterically hindered precursor compounds was accomplished by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions with the arylchloride and corresponding boronic acids. Metal free phthalocyanine...
