研究目的
Investigating the effects of Lewis bases-passivated metal oxide n-type contacts on the performance and stability of organic solar cells (OSCs).
研究成果
The study demonstrates that alcohol amines with high Lewis basicity effectively passivate oxygen vacancy defects on ZnO and SnOX ETLs for OSCs, improving both efficiency and stability. This passivation strategy is general and could be extended to other optoelectronic devices with metal oxides as contact materials.
研究不足
The study focuses on the passivation of ZnO and SnOX contacts and their impact on OSCs. The applicability of the passivation strategy to other metal oxides and optoelectronic devices is suggested but not extensively explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the use of solution processed ZnO deposited through sol-gel method as the electron transporting layer (ETL). Various polar solvents with different functional groups were spin-coated on top of ZnO layer to modify its surface.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The active layers consisted of polymer donor and fullerene acceptor or fused-ring electron acceptor blends, formed by low-temperature solution processed spin coating.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments and materials included spin coater, thermal annealing setup, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence (PL) measurements, thermal admittance spectroscopy (TAS), space charge limited current (SCLC) method, and impedance spectroscopy (IS).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involved spin-coating polar solvents on ZnO, thermal annealing, characterization of ZnO films, fabrication of OSCs, and performance evaluation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis included PL spectra analysis, TAS for trap density of states, SCLC for electron mobility, and IS for charge recombination analysis.
