Conversion Efficiencies

There was inefficient light absorption in the thin active layers due to optical losses in Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) with relatively large area. Therefore, it is a key issue to have a light trapping structure for highly efficient OSCs. For high performance devices fabrication, a smart grating was fabricated using holographic photolithography incorporated with wet etching technology. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of fabrication were employed before/after spin-coating active layer. With the aid of optical finite difference time Domain (FDTD) simulation for optical effect, the optimized device structure ITO (1D grating)/PEDOT:PSS (40 nm)/PBDB-T:ITIC (100 nm)/PDINO (5 nm)/Al (100 nm) was obtained. The experimental results showed that when the grating period was 350 nm, depth 40 nm, the power conversion efficiencies (PCE) reached to 9.51%, an apparent increase from those of the typical P3HT:PC71BM structure. This work indicates that the diffraction gratings had a potential to realize more efficient organic photovoltaics, if suitable fabrication processing methods can be developed.

AbstractAll-solution-processed flexible organic solar cells (FOSCs) with high power conversion efficiency (PCE) are the prerequisite for application in low-cost, large-area, flexible, photovoltaic devices. In this work, high-performance, top-illuminated FOSCs using ultrathin Ag-modified graphite-coated poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrates are demonstrated. The ultrathin Ag-modified graphite/PET substrates have excellent electric conductivity, mechanical flexibility, and easy processability for FOSCs. A PCE of 5.31% for FOSCs, based on the blend system poly[4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo [1,2-b:4,5-b′]dith-iophene-co-3-fluorothieno[3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate]: [6,6]-phenyl-C7l-but-yric acid methyl ester, having a bilayer of MoOx/Ag upper transparent anode is demonstrated. Top-illuminated FOSCs with a transparent upper electrode of solution-processed Ag nanowires also yielded a PCE of 3.76%. All-solution-processed FOSCs exhibit excellent mechanical flexibility and retain >81% of the initial efficiency after 500 cycles of bending test. Furthermore, graphite-based electrodes demonstrate good heat-insulation properties. The outcomes of this work offer an alternative to fabricate high-performance, all-solution-processable, top-illuminated FOSCs, providing a commercially viable approach for application in large-area solar cells that can be prepared by printing and roll-to-roll fabrication processes.

AbstractTandem organic solar cells are based on the device structure monolithically connecting two solar cells to broaden overall absorption spectrum and utilize the photon energy more efficiently. Herein, we demonstrate a simple strategy of inserting a double bond between the central core and end groups of the small molecule acceptor Y6 to extend its conjugation length and absorption range. As a result, a new narrow bandgap acceptor BTPV-4F was synthesized with an optical bandgap of 1.21 eV. The single-junction devices based on BTPV-4F as acceptor achieved a power conversion efficiency of over 13.4% with a high short-circuit current density of 28.9 mA cm−2. With adopting BTPV-4F as the rear cell acceptor material, the resulting tandem devices reached a high power conversion efficiency of over 16.4% with good photostability. The results indicate that BTPV-4F is an efficient infrared-absorbing narrow bandgap acceptor and has great potential to be applied into tandem organic solar cells.
