Research on polymer solar cells has attracted increasing attention in the past few decades due to the advantages such as low cost of fabrication, ease of processing, mechanical flexibility, etc. In recent years, non-fullerene polymer solar cells are extensively studied, because of the reduced voltage losses, and the tunability of absorption spectra and molecular energy level of non-fullerene acceptors. In this work, polymer solar cells based on conjugated polymer (PBDB-T: poly [(2,6-(4,8-bis (5-(2-ethylhexyl) thiophen-2-yl)-benzo [1,2-b:4,5-b’] dithiophene))-alt-(5,5-(1’,3’-di-2-thienyl-5’,7’-bis (2-ethylhexyl) benzo [1’,2’-c:4’,5’-c’] dithiophene-4,8-dione))]) and non-fullerene electron acceptor (ITIC: 3,9-bis (2-methylene-(3-(1,1-dicyanomethylene)-indanone)) -5,5,11,11-tetrakis (4-hexylphenyl)-dithieno [2,3-d:2’,3’-d’]-s-indaceno [1,2-b:5,6-b’] dithiophene) were prepared by means of spin-coating method, and the influence of the active layer thickness on the device performance was investigated. PBDB-T: ITIC active layers with different thickness were prepared through varying spin coating speed. It was found that the solar cell performance is best when the active layer thickness is 100 nm, corresponding to the spin coating speed of 2000 rpm. Maximum power conversion efficiency of 7.25% with fill factor of 65%, open circuit voltage of 0.85 V and short circuit current density of 13.02 Am/cm2 was obtained.

Abstract Organic solar cells deal with small organic molecules for absorption of light at low cost and high efficiency. In this paper, we have analyzed the photovoltaic (PV) characteristics of double heterojunction solar cell that consists of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic bis-benzimidazole (PTCBI) thin films. Here, CuPc and PTCBI layers are combined by an interfacial layer consisting of nanoscale dots. Different plasmonic materials (i. e. Ag, Au, and graphene) are selected as alternative nanoscale dot layer to examine their effect on solar cell performance. Further, the solar cell performance is also examined via variation in active layer thickness. The choice of interfacial layer material and variation in active layer thickness offer grounds for future efficient PV cells.
