研究目的
Investigating the performance enhancement of ternary organic solar cells (OSCs) through the addition of a small molecule (SM) to a binary blend of conjugated polymer and non-fullerene acceptor, focusing on the impact on molecular ordering, crystallinity, and overall device efficiency.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that the addition of p-DTS(FBTTh2)2 SM to PTB7-Th: IEICO-4F binary blend significantly enhances the PCE of ternary OSCs. The improved performance is attributed to enhanced molecular ordering, crystallinity, and reduced charge recombination. The findings provide insights into the design of high-efficiency ternary OSCs.
研究不足
The study focuses on a specific ternary blend system, and the findings may not be directly applicable to other material systems. The optimization of the ternary blend composition is crucial, and deviations from the optimal ratio can lead to reduced performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the fabrication of ternary organic solar cells (OSCs) using PTB7-Th and p-DTS(FBTTh2)2 as donors and IEICO-4F as an acceptor. The methodology includes the preparation of binary and ternary blends with varying ratios of p-DTS(FBTTh2)2, followed by device fabrication in an inverted geometry.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The photoactive layers were prepared using PTB7-Th, p-DTS(FBTTh2)2, and IEICO-4F, purchased from Solarmer. The blends were prepared in chlorobenzene with 0.5 vol% of 1,8 diiodooctane (DIO).
3:5 vol% of 1,8 diiodooctane (DIO). List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Devices were fabricated using ITO/ZnO (40 nm)/photoactive layer (100 nm)/MoO3 (10 nm)/Al (100 nm) architecture. Characterization techniques included J-V measurements, EQE spectra, PL spectra, AFM, and GIWAXS.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The photoactive blend was spin-coated inside a nitrogen-filled glove box. Devices were characterized under AM 1.5 G illumination, and morphological studies were conducted using AFM and GIWAXS.
5:5 G illumination, and morphological studies were conducted using AFM and GIWAXS. Data Analysis Methods:
