研究目的
Investigating the activation of ultra-thick organic pigment layers up to 10 μm through crystallization in organic photovoltaic cells.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that efficient OPV cells can be produced using an extraordinarily thick crystalline ZnPc:C60 film as the active layer, achieving a power conversion efficiency of about 4% and short-circuit density as high as 16 mA/cm2 with an active layer as thick as 10 μm. This proves that crystalline pigment layers with thicknesses much greater than what is needed for optical optimization can be utilized for organic optoelectronic devices, potentially relieving their design from the co-optimization of optics and charge transport.
研究不足
The study focuses on a specific pair of pigments and the co-evaporant induced crystallization method, which may not be universally applicable to all organic optoelectronic materials. The scalability and long-term stability of the ultra-thick crystalline layers in practical applications are not addressed.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized a prototypical pair of pigments, phthalocyanine, and fullerene, to demonstrate the activation of a 10-μm-thick pigment layer in a photovoltaic cell through crystallization.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The active layer was made of a blend of vacuum-deposited zinc phthalocyanine and fullerene pigments.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included C60, ZnPc, F4TCNQ, CuI, Alq3, LiF, PDMS, ITO, and FTO glass substrates. Equipment included a custom-designed vacuum chamber, powder X-ray diffractometer, field emission scanning electron microscope, and optical microscope.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The ZnPc:C60 blend layers were deposited using a co-evaporant induced crystallization method with PDMS. The substrate was kept at an elevated temperature to facilitate the removal of the co-evaporant.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the OPV cells was characterized by measuring J-V curves under AM 1.5G one sun illumination and analyzing the optical absorption and XRD patterns of the films.
