| Popis: | The active layer of the bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic cells is typically based on a polymeric blend containing a donor polymer and a fullerene-based polymer electron acceptor. However, in the last decade non-fullerene polymer-based solar cells have seen a rapid progress, due to their extraordinary chemical, thermal and photo stability, and because of their ability to decrease the voltage loss. The conventional Organic Photovoltaic Cells (OPVs), structures based on either P3HT:PCBM bulk heterojunction (BHJ) polymeric blend or P3HT/PCBM bilayer heterojunction, have limited efficiency and stability, in principal due to the fullerene derivatives used as acceptor component. PCBM for example, as many other fullerene derivatives, exhibits some deficiencies, such as: limited chemical and energetic tunability, small range of absorption spectra, morphological instability and relatively high production costs. That is why in the last years, novel non-fullerene materials started to be used in order to overcome the above limits associated with the fullerene acceptors. In this paper two different non-fullerene acceptor materials have been tested as potential candidates for the efficient OPVs based on P3HT donor polymer as main absorber: a new conjugated polymer containing chelating ligands like 1,10-Phenanthroline (Phen), and a small-molecule acceptor like 5,10,15,20-Tetra(4-pyridyl)-21H,23H-porphine (TPyP). For both cell configurations a decrease of the voltage loss was obtained, and it was also observed that the thickness of the P3HT donor layer has an important contribution to the output power ( P max ) and fill factor ( FF ) of the OPV structures ( FF and P max increased almost two times by decreasing the thickness of the P3HT donor layer). |
