研究目的
Investigating the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs) by using a new graphene oxide derivative as hole transport layer (HTL).
研究成果
The study demonstrated that a new fluorinated graphene oxide (F5-rGO) can be successfully used as HTL in OSCs, achieving a PCE of 5.82% for a single layer and 7.67% when used as an interlayer between ITO and PEDOT:PSS. Ternary OSCs with H5-rGO as a third component in the active layer achieved a PCE of 7.56% with 3 wt% content. The study also highlighted the potential of F5-rGO/PEDOT:PSS as HTL for improved stability and performance in OSCs.
研究不足
The study was limited by the stability of devices under ambient conditions without encapsulation, with devices based on F5-rGO showing a decrease in efficiency of more than 40% of the initial value over 30 days. The use of Field’s metal as an alternative top electrode, while providing some stability, may not be as effective as traditional metals like Al in certain conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of fluorinated reduced graphene oxide (F5-rGO) from graphene oxide (GO) using pentafluorophenylhydrazine under mild conditions. The F5-rGO was then used as HTL in OSCs based on the PTB7:PC71BM blend. The top electrode was Field’s metal, deposited vacuum-free.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The materials used included flake graphite, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, pentafluorophenylhydrazine, phenylhydrazine, PEDOT:PSS, PTB7, PC71BM, and Field’s metal.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a JEOL (JSM-7800F) microscope for SEM, Renishaw InVia microscope Raman spectrometer, Agilent Technologies model Cary 670 FTIR spectrometer, Nanosurf EasyScan2 AFM, SmartSPM-1000 AFM for KPFM, TGA Q500 TA Instruments for thermogravimetric analyses, and Phi5000 Versa Probe II for XPS analyses.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The GO was synthesized using a modified Hummers method. F5-rGO was prepared by dispersing GO in water and adding pentafluorophenylhydrazine. OSCs were fabricated with different HTLs and characterized using J-V curves under AM
5:5 spectrum. Data Analysis Methods:
The photovoltaic parameters JSC, VOC, FF, and PCE were determined from J-V plots. The work function of F5-rGO was determined by KPFM.
