研究目的
Investigating the photon energy dependence of long-range charge separation in organic solar cells and the role of delocalization and excess energy on the quantum efficiency.
研究成果
The study concludes that the photon energy dependence of the charge separation efficiency is governed by charge delocalization. For PCDTBT:PC61BM, the IQE is independent of the photon energy, while for TQ1:PC71BM, it is energy-dependent at low excitation energies. The simulations suggest that strict reciprocity between CT electroluminescence and EQE spectra may not be obeyed due to different subsets of the total joint density of states being reflected.
研究不足
The study is limited to two specific polymer:fullerene systems, and the findings may not be generalizable to all organic solar cells. The simulations assume a homogeneous active layer, which may not account for sample inhomogeneities.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the use of Fourier Transform Photocurrent Spectroscopy (FTPS) and Photothermal Deflection Spectroscopy (PDS) to measure the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and absorption spectra of two polymer:fullerene systems. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations are employed to model the charge separation process.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study focuses on two prototypical polymer:fullerene systems, PCDTBT:PC61BM and TQ1:PC71BM. The samples were prepared with specific weight ratios and measurements were taken under various applied voltages.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
FTPS and PDS setups were used for spectral measurements. The materials include PCDTBT, PC61BM, TQ1, and PC71BM.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
EQE spectra were measured at open circuit conditions and at large reverse bias. Absorption spectra were measured via PDS. The IQE was calculated from the EQE and absorption spectra.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data were analyzed using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to model the charge separation process and to fit the experimental CT electroluminescence and EQE spectra.
