研究目的
To demonstrate the indoor photovoltaic performance of flexible organic photovoltaics (OPVs) with polymeric electrodes compared to reference OPVs with indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes under dim and spectrally-limited indoor light conditions.
研究成果
The flexible OPVs with polymeric electrodes demonstrated superior indoor performance and mechanical stability compared to reference OPVs with ITO electrodes, achieving a PCE of 11.1% under 500-lx LED conditions and retaining 85% of their initial PCE after 500 bending cycles. This highlights the potential of polymeric electrodes for flexible indoor energy harvesting applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on indoor light conditions and may not fully represent performance under outdoor conditions. The mechanical flexibility tests are limited to a bending radius of approximately 8 mm and 500 cycles.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a comparative analysis between flexible OPVs with polymeric electrodes and reference OPVs with ITO electrodes under indoor light conditions. The methodology included the fabrication of OPVs, characterization of their photovoltaic performance, and bending tests to assess mechanical flexibility.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples included flexible OPVs fabricated on polyethylene naphthalate substrates with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene-sulfonic acid)-based polymeric electrodes and reference OPVs with ITO electrodes.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a source meter for current density-voltage characteristics, a solar simulator, an LED lamp, an optical microscope, a UV–vis-NR spectrophotometer, a Kelvin probe system, a four-point probe, an atomic force microscope, and a thermal evaporator system. Materials included poly(3-hexylthiophene), indene-C60 bisadduct, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate, polyethylene naphthalate, polyvinyl alcohol, and indium tin oxide.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The fabrication process involved solution preparation, substrate cleaning, layer deposition (PVA, PEDOT:PSS, PEIE, P3HT:ICBA, MoOX, Ag), and device characterization under 1-sun and 500-lx LED conditions. Bending tests were conducted to evaluate mechanical stability.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Photovoltaic parameters (VOC, JSC, FF, PCE) were extracted from J-V characteristics. EQE measurements, optical transmittance, sheet resistance, and surface morphology were analyzed to support the findings.
