Tackling Performance Challenges in Organic Photovoltaics: An Overview about Compatibilizers
摘要： Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs) based on Bulk Heterojunction (BHJ) blends are a mature technology. Having started their intensive development two decades ago, their low cost, processability and flexibility rapidly funneled the interest of the scientific community, searching for new solutions to expand solar photovoltaics market and promote sustainable development. However, their robust implementation is hampered by some issues, concerning the choice of the donor/acceptor materials, the device thermal/photo-stability, and, last but not least, their morphology. Indeed, the morphological profile of BHJs has a strong impact over charge generation, collection, and recombination processes; control over nano/microstructural morphology would be desirable, aiming at finely tuning the device performance and overcoming those previously mentioned critical issues. The employ of compatibilizers has emerged as a promising, economically sustainable, and widely applicable approach for the donor/acceptor interface (D/A-I) optimization. Thus, improvements in the global performance of the devices can be achieved without making use of more complex architectures. Even though several materials have been deeply documented and reported as effective compatibilizing agents, scientific reports are quite fragmentary. Here we would like to offer a panoramic overview of the literature on compatibilizers, focusing on the progression documented in the last decade.

Importance of interfacial crystallinity to reduce open-circuit voltage loss in organic solar cells
摘要： Reducing the energy loss in output voltage is critically important for further enhancing the ef?ciency of organic solar cells (OSCs). Here, we report that OSCs with high mobility and highly crystalline donor (D) and acceptor (A) materials were able to reduce an open-circuit voltage (VOC) loss. The crystallinity of the acceptor layer could be altered by appropriate selection of the three molecules with different alkyl side chain lengths. The VOC was found to increase as the crystallinity of the acceptor layer increased. The origin of the high VOC was that the highly crystalline D/A interface reduced the energy loss in the output voltage by realizing ideal band-to-band recombination. Especially, the high crystallinity of the several molecular layers (less than 6 nm) in the vicinity of the D/A interface was important for realizing the high VOC. Our results demonstrate that the careful design of the D/A interface enables high power conversion ef?ciencies to be achieved in OSCs by reducing open-circuit voltage loss.
