摘要：

报道了利用聚(3-己基噻吩)(P3HT)作为前置缓冲层来弥补(4,8-双-(2-乙基己氧基)-苯并[1,2-b:4,5-b']二噻吩)-(4-氟代噻并[3,4-b]噻吩(PBDT-TT-F):[6,6]-苯基-C61-丁酸甲酯(PC61BM)共混体相异质结(BHJ)电池对450-600 nm处光谱响应不足的新的器件结构设计思路. 光谱带隙为1.8 eV的PBDT-TT-F 在550-700 nm处有很强的光谱吸收, 在有机太阳电池器件上有很好的应用潜能. 但其在350-550 nm处的吸收不强, 影响了器件对太阳光谱的利用效率. 与此相比, P3HT薄膜的光谱吸收主要在450-600 nm范围内, 同PBDT-TT-F 形成良好的互补关系. 新设计的器件外量子效率(EQE)研究结果表明, 利用P3HT 作为前置缓冲层可以与PBDT-TT-F:PC61BM薄膜中的PC61BM形成平面异质结, 从而拓展了器件在450-600 nm处的光谱响应范围,实现光谱增感作用. 优化P3HT的厚度为20 nm左右, 器件对外输出的短路光电流密度从11.42 mA·cm-2提高到12.15 mA·cm-2, 达到了6.3%的提升.

Abstract:

We report here the photovoltaic performance of a solar cell using poly-{[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl) oxy]-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-diyl]-alt-[3-fluore-2-(octyloxy)carbonyl-thieno[3,4-b]thiophene-4,6- diyl]} (PBDT-TT-F):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) as the photoactive layer in combination with a thin poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) film as a photosensitizing layer. PBDT-TT-F strongly absorbs light in the wavelength range of 550-700 nm, but it absorbs relatively weakly in the range of 350-550 nm. In contrast, a P3HT film shows intensive absorption ability in the 450-600 nm region, suggesting that the absorptions of these two materials complement each other to give a broad range. An organic solar cell with the structure indium tin oxide (ITO)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)- polystyrenesulfonic acid (PEDOT:PSS)/P3HT/ PBDT-TT-F:[6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM)/LiF/Al was fabricated in which P3HT was deposited between the hole transporting layer (PEDOT: PSS) and bulk heterojunction (BHJ) photoactive layer (PBDT-TT-F:PC61BM). This solar cell exhibited improved spectrum response in the wavelength range of 450-600 nm compared with one without a P3HT layer, which is attributed to the photosensitizing effect of the P3HT film. Optimization of the thickness of P3HT led to an increase of short-circuit current density (JSC) from 11.42 to 12.15 mA·cm-2.
