The study provides insights into the mechanism of GQDs size effect on device performance, offering a pathway for improving organic solar cells.
研究不足
The study focuses on the size effect of GQDs on the performance of P3HT:PCBM solar cells. The influence of other factors such as edge functionalization or doping concentration beyond the studied range is not explored. The scalability and long-term stability of the devices are not addressed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved preparing three kinds of GQDs with different lateral sizes using photon-Fenton reaction and separating them through gel column chromatography. The effects of these GQDs on the photovoltaic performances of inverted organic solar cells were systematically studied.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples included P3HT:PCBM blend films with and without GQDs. The GQDs were characterized using AFM imaging, TEM, PL, and UV-vis spectra measurements.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment used includes AFM, TEM, UV-vis spectrophotometer, PL spectrofluorometer, and a solar simulator for J-V characteristics measurement. Materials include P3HT, PCBM, GQDs, and other chemicals for device fabrication.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The GQDs were prepared and separated, then incorporated into the active layers of solar cells. The devices were fabricated and their photovoltaic performances were measured under AM 1.5 G irradiation.
5:5 G irradiation.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: The photovoltaic parameters (Jsc, Voc, FF, PCE) were analyzed to evaluate the performance enhancement due to GQDs. The band structures of GQDs were analyzed using cyclic voltammetry.
