研究目的
To analyze the photovoltaic (PV) characteristics of double heterojunction solar cell that consists of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic bis-benzimidazole (PTCBI) thin films, and examine the effect of different plasmonic materials and variation in active layer thickness on solar cell performance.
研究成果
The study concludes that the choice of plasmonic materials and the thickness of the active layer significantly affect the performance of heterojunction thin film solar cells. Silver (Ag) as an interfacial material and an optimal thickness of the CuPc layer (0.015 μm) were found to enhance the energy conversion efficiency (ECE) to 4.01%. The findings suggest that further improvements can be achieved by optimizing parameters such as the diameter of nano dots and the use of tandem geometries.
研究不足
The study is based on simulation, which may not fully capture all real-world variables and conditions affecting solar cell performance. The choice of materials and thickness variations are limited to those specified in the study.
