研究目的
Investigating the effectiveness of annealing treatment and polymer blends on the I-V characteristics of polymer solar cells.
研究成果
The best performance was obtained from the device with a blend ratio of 1:1 MDMO-PPV/PCBM without annealing treatment. The typical power efficiency was 0.01% with open circuit voltage of 0.347 V, short circuit current of 0.064 mA, and maximum power of 0.006 mW.
研究不足
The low power conversion efficiency is mainly caused by a significant low in VOC, possibly due to the sputtering process for aluminum cathode and the effect of impurities such as oxygen. The larger active area and the temperature of sealing also decrease the electrical characteristics.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of polymer solar cells using blends of MDMO-PPV and PCBM on ITO-coated glass substrates. The devices were characterized under a solar simulator.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
ITO-covered glass slides were used as substrates. The active layers were prepared from blends of MDMO-PPV and PCBM in chlorobenzene.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
ITO-coated glass substrates, MDMO-PPV, PCBM, PEDOT:PSS, chlorobenzene, vacuum oven, sputtering system, xenon lamp, I-V Measurement from National Instrument, atomic force microscopy (AFM).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The substrates were cleaned, coated with PEDOT:PSS, then with MDMO-PPV/PCBM blends, and finally with aluminum. Some devices were annealed. The devices were encapsulated and characterized.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The I-V characteristics were measured under a solar simulator. AFM was used to investigate the surface morphology of the active layers.
