研究目的
Investigating the effect of different numbers of running cycles with the spray pyrolysis technique on the performance of inverted polymer solar cells (iPSCs) using ZnO as an electron transporting layer (ETL).
研究成果
The spray pyrolysis technique for depositing ZnO ETL in iPSCs shows promising results, achieving performance close to that of the lab-scale spin coating technique. The study highlights the potential of SP for scalable and cost-effective fabrication of iPSCs.
研究不足
The study is limited to the comparison of SP and SC techniques for ZnO ETL deposition and does not explore other deposition methods or materials for ETL. Optimization of SP parameters is ongoing.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study compares the performance of iPSCs fabricated using spray pyrolysis (SP) and spin coating (SC) techniques for depositing ZnO ETL.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
ITO-patterned glass substrates were used, with ZnO ETL deposited via SP and SC techniques.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes ITO substrates, Zinc acetate dihydrate, 2-methoxyethanol, Ethanolamine, PTB7-Th, PC70BM, V2O5, and Ag.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Involves cleaning ITO substrates, depositing ZnO via SP and SC, preparing active polymer blend, and depositing V2O5 and Ag layers under vacuum.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
AFM for surface roughness, current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics under illumination and dark conditions, and external quantum efficiency (EQE) measurements.
