研究目的
Investigating the effect of interfacial crystallinity on reducing open-circuit voltage loss in organic solar cells to enhance their efficiency.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that highly crystalline donor and acceptor materials at the D/A interface can significantly reduce open-circuit voltage loss in OSCs, achieving a VOC loss of less than 0.3 V and a fill factor of almost 0.8. The high crystallinity of several molecular layers near the D/A interface is crucial for reducing energy loss and realizing ideal band-to-band recombination, providing a pathway to achieving high power conversion efficiencies in OSCs.
研究不足
The study focuses on planar heterojunction devices, which may not fully represent the complexity of bulk heterojunction structures commonly used in high-performance OSCs. The photocurrent generation is limited by exciton diffusion in the vertical direction due to the edge-on structure and alkyl side chains of the acceptor materials.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Fabrication of planar heterojunction (PHJ) OSCs using highly crystalline donor (BTBT) and acceptor (Cn-PTCDI) materials to investigate the effect of nanostructure at the D/A interface.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Use of three Cn-PTCDI analogs with different alkyl side chain lengths (C3, C6, and C8) to alter the crystallinity of the acceptor layer.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
X-ray diffraction (XRD) for crystalline behavior investigation, thermal evaporation under high vacuum for device fabrication.
