研究目的
To ameliorate the low conductivity of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and enhance the performance of polymer solar cells (PSCs) by incorporating 2D α-In2Se3 nanosheets into PEDOT:PSS to form a composite film with enhanced conductivity, suitable work function, and improved stability.

The incorporation of α-In2Se3 nanosheets into PEDOT:PSS significantly enhances its conductivity, optical transmittance, and suitability as a hole transport layer in polymer solar cells. The composite film demonstrates improved device performance and stability, making it a promising material for optoelectronic applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on the enhancement of PEDOT:PSS conductivity and PSC performance using α-In2Se3 nanosheets. However, the scalability of the liquid phase exfoliation method and the long-term stability of the composite films under various environmental conditions were not extensively explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed liquid phase exfoliation method to synthesize 2D α-In2Se3 nanosheets and mixed them with PEDOT:PSS to form composite films. The mechanism of conductivity enhancement was investigated using XPS, Raman, EPR, and AFM measurements.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Bulk α-In2Se3 was exfoliated into nanosheets using IPA/DI water cosolvent. The composite films were prepared by mixing α-In2Se3 solution with PEDOT:PSS solution.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
SEM, XRD, TEM, XPS, UV–vis spectrophotometer, Scanning Kelvin probe microscopy, AFM, EPR spectroscopy, and van der Pauw four-probe conductivity technique were used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The composite films were spin-coated on ITO substrates, annealed, and used as HTL in PSCs. The devices were characterized under AM 1.5 G simulated solar illumination.
5:5 G simulated solar illumination.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: The conductivity, optical transmittance, work function, and device performance were analyzed to understand the enhancement mechanism.
