研究目的
Investigating the effectiveness of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and piperazine derivatives as stabilizers in polymer:PC61BM solar cells to suppress 'burn-in' degradation.
研究成果
PEI and piperazine derivatives can effectively suppress the 'burn-in' degradation in polymer:PC61BM solar cells by localizing at the donor/acceptor interface and preventing the photo dimerization of PC61BM. The study highlights the potential of organic amines as universal stabilizers in polymer:fullerene solar cells.
研究不足
The study is limited to polymer:PC61BM solar cells, and the findings may not be directly applicable to other types of solar cells. The high volatility of piperazine and the optimal doping concentration of PEI need careful optimization.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved doping the photoactive layer of polymer:PC61BM solar cells with PEI and piperazine derivatives to investigate their stabilization effects. LESR spectroscopy and GC-MS were used to analyze the interaction between the organic amines and PC61BM.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
PTB7-Th:PC61BM and P3HT:PC61BM cells were used as model systems. The samples were prepared by mixing the polymer:fullerene solution with PEI or piperazine solutions.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments included an ESR spectrometer (Bruker E500), GC-MS spectrometer (Agilent 7890A/5975C), and TEM (Tecnai G2 F20 S-Twin). Materials included PEI, piperazine, PTB7-Th, P3HT, and PC61BM.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The photoactive layers were prepared by spin-coating the polymer:fullerene:amine solutions onto substrates. The films were then characterized using LESR, GC-MS, and TEM. Quantum chemical calculations were performed to understand the intermolecular interactions.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data from LESR and GC-MS were analyzed to determine the residual concentration of amines and their interaction with PC61BM. Quantum calculations provided insights into the binding energies between the components.
