Organic solar cells (OSCs) are promising renewable energy sources for replacing fossil fuels. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OSCs has increased based on tremendous effort in material and device engineering. Still, the stability of OSC, such as long lifetime, negative temperature coefficient, must be enhanced for commercialization. In this study, we investigated OSC performance at a high operating temperature near 300–420 K, which are typical temperature regions in photovoltaic applications, with a different hole-extraction layer (HEL). The metal oxide-based HEL, MoO3, exhibited stable operating properties with a PCE drop rate of −0.13%/°C, as compared to polymeric HEL, PEDOT:PSS (−0.20%/°C). This performance reduction of polymeric HEL originated from the degradation of the interface in contact with PEDOT:PSS, as compared to the robust inorganic metal oxide HEL.

AbstractWe report the increase in open-circuit voltage (Voc) by inserting of MoO3 layer on ITO substrate to improve built-in potential of organic solar cells (OSCs). In the OSCs using 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrine (H2TPP) as a p-type material and C60 as a n-type material, the Voc effectively increased from 0.57 to 0.97 V as increasing MoO3 thickness. The obtained highest Voc (0.97 V) is consistent with the theoretical value estimated from the energy difference between the LUMO (−4.50 eV) of C60 and the HOMO (−5.50 eV) of H2TPP layer. Importantly, the enhancement in the Voc was achieved without affecting the short-circuit current density (Jsc) and the fill-factor (FF). Thus, the power conversion efficiency of the device linearly increased from 1.24% to 1.88%. We also demonstrated that a MoO3 buffer layer enhances the stability of OSCs after photo-irradiation. We have investigated the stability of OSCs using H2TPP and N,N′-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine as a p-type layer. The both devices with MoO3 layer showed improved stability. These results clearly suggest that the interface at ITO/p-type layer affects the device stability.
