The influence of polymer solution concentration on the performance of chlorobenzene- (CB-) and chloroform- (CF-) based inverted-type organic solar cells has been investigated. The organic photoactive layers consisted of poly(2-methoxy-5-(2-ethyl hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV) and (6,6)-phenyl C61butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) were spin coated from CF with concentrations of 4, 6, and 8 mg/mL and from CB with concentrations of 6, 8, and 10 mg/mL onto Eosin-Y-coated ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs). Fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) and silver (Ag) were used as electron collecting electrode and hole collecting electrode, respectively. Experimental results showed that the short circuit current density and power conversion efficiency increased with decrease of solution concentration for both CB and CF devices, which could be attributed to reducing charge recombination in thinner photoactive layer and larger contact area between the rougher photoactive layer and Ag contact. However, the open circuit voltage decreased with decreasing solution concentration due to increase of leakage current from ZnO NRAs to Ag as the ZnO NRAs were not fully covered by the polymer blend. The highest power conversion efficiencies of0.54±0.10% and0.87±0.15% were achieved at the respective lowest solution concentrations of CB and CF.

Coating Temperature

Inverted type bulk heterojunction organic solar cell based on ZnO nanorod arrays have been used to overcome the degradation problem of conjugated polymer and low work function electrode. ZnO nanorods and Eosin-Y are widely used to increase the charge mobility and light absorbance, respectively. The effects of Eosin-Y coating temperature (30 – 50 oC) on the performance of organic solar cells based on a blend of poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEHPPV) as donor and (6,6)-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) as acceptor with a structure of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)/Eosin-Y coated ZnO nanorod arrays/MEHPPV:PCBM/Ag were investigated. By using FTO as a substrate, sol-gel and spin coating method was used to deposit ZnO seed layer on FTO surface. The ZnO nanorods were then grown on the ZnO seed layer by chemical bath deposition method and coated with dye by immersing the substrates into Eosin-Y solution at different temperatures. The result shows that absorption of Eosin-Y coated ZnO nanorods increased with dye coating temperature. The optimum power conversion efficiency of η = 1.24 × 10-2 % was achieved at dye coating temperature 50 oC under 100 mW/cm2 simulated AM 1.5 G sunlight.

Inverted bulk heterojunction organic solar cells based on vertically aligned dye-coated ZnO nanorods arrays were fabricated. The dye, Eosin-Y was wrapped on ZnO nanorods arrays with dye coating concentration ranging from 0.05 mM to 0.3 mM at room temperature for 1 h. The effects of Eosin-Y solution concentration on the performance of inverted bulk heterojunction organic solar cells based on a blend of poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEHPPV) as donor and (6,6)-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as acceptor with a structure of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)/Eosin-Y coated ZnO nanorod arrays/MEHPPV:PCBM/Ag were investigated. Length, diameter and morphology of ZnO nanorods arrays were characterized. The optical properties of the Eosin-Y coated ZnO nanorod arrays were investigated and the organic solar cells were characterized by current–voltage measurements under 100 mW/cm2 simulated AM 1.5 G sunlight. It was found that current density, Jsc increased from 0.00134 mA/ cm2 to 0.0162 mA/ cm2 with increase in concentration of Eosin-Y from 0.05 mM to 0.3 mM. Solar cell with 0.3 mM Eosin-Y gave the highest power conversion efficiency, which is 7.15×10-4 %. Short circuit current density was 0.0162 mA/ cm2 and the corresponding open circuit voltage was 0.17 V.
