Abstrakt: CuI is used to control the molecular orientation of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and modify the anodes in organic solar cells based on CuPc/C60. By introducing a CuI buffer between indium tin oxide and CuPc, the power conversion efficiency is significantly enhanced by a factor of ∼70%. Because of the strong interactions between the CuI and CuPc, the stacking orientation of CuPc molecules is changed, resulting in a ∼65% increase in absorption coefficient, a larger carrier mobility and a smoother film surface. The anode work function is raised by the formation of a dipole layer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
