研究目的
Investigating the synthesis of composite interlayers using alcohol-soluble polyfluorene (ASP)-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and their application as electron transport layers for efficient organic solar cells.
研究成果
The ASP-wrapped SWNTs significantly improve the performance of organic solar cells by enhancing charge transport, balancing electron and hole mobility, and minimizing charge recombination. The composite interlayers are effective for both fullerene and non-fullerene based solar cells, achieving PCEs up to 14.37%.
研究不足
The study does not address the long-term stability of the solar cells under operational conditions. The effect of SWNT type on performance was found to be non-critical, but the study does not explore the limits of SWNT density or length on device performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of composite interlayers using ASP-wrapped SWNTs and their application in organic solar cells. The ASP was used to individually disperse SWNTs in solution.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
SWNTs with small and large diameter ranges were used, and their dispersion stability was monitored.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included an ultrasonic bath, centrifuge, spin-coater, and solar simulator system. Materials included ASP, SWNTs, ZnO NPs, PTB7-th, PC71BM, PM6, and Y
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The ASP-wrapped SWNT solutions were prepared by sonication and centrifugation. The solutions were then applied as interlayers in the fabrication of inverted polymer solar cells.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the solar cells was characterized by J-V curves, EQE spectra, and UPS measurements. The dispersion stability of SWNTs was analyzed using a Turbiscan instrument.
