Factors Governing Intercalation of Fullerenes and Other Small Molecules Between the Side Chains of Semiconducting Polymers Used in Solar Cells
© 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinh wileyonlinelibrary.com While recent reports have established signifi cant miscibility in polymer:fullerene blends used in organic solar cells, little is actually known about why polymers and fullerenes mix and how their mixing can be controlled. Here, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and molecular simulations are us...
متن کاملMagnetic field effects in pi-conjugated polymer-fullerene blends: evidence for multiple components.
We studied magnetoconductance (MC) and magnetoelectroluminescence (MEL) in organic diodes from blends of pi-conjugated polymers and fullerenes at various concentrations, c. The MC response is composed of several components that depend on the applied bias voltage and c. A dominant positive low-field (LF) component, which also governs the MEL response, dramatically decreases and broadens in the b...
متن کاملControl of charge generation and recombination in ternary polymer/polymer:fullerene photovoltaic blends using amorphous and semi-crystalline copolymers as donors.
Charge generation and recombination processes occurring in ternary photoactive copolymer:copolymer:fullerene blends consisting of different mixing ratios between entirely amorphous and semi-crystalline PPE-PPV copolymers are investigated by transient absorption pump-probe and pump-push photocurrent spectroscopy. The experiments reveal that an excess of semi-crystalline polymer facilitates excit...
متن کاملThe Phase Behavior of a Polymer-Fullerene Bulk Heterojunction System that Contains Bimolecular Crystals
Polymer:fullerene blends have been widely studied as an inexpensive alternative to traditional silicon solar cells. Some polymer:fullerene blends, such as blends of poly(2,5bis(3-tetradecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (pBTTT) with phenyl-c71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM), form bimolecular crystals due to fullerene intercalation between the polymer side chains. Here we present the d...
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...
