The aim of this research is to study improvement of power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic-inorganic hybrid bulk heterostructure solar cell prepared by rapid convective deposition as a function of concentration of zinc oxide additive. The structure of hybrid solar cell used in this research is ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PC70BM:ZnO(nanoparticles)/MoO3/Au. By adding 5 mg/ml of ZnO nanoparticles in the active layer (P3HT:PC70BM), the PCE was increased from 0.46 to 1.09%. In order to reveal the origin of improving efficiency, surface morphology and optical properties of active layers were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and UV-Visible spectroscopy, respectively. The results clearly indicate that the enhancement of solar cell efficiency results from (i) the proper phase sepharation of electron donor and acceptor in the active layer and (ii) the better absorption of the active layer. This research work introduces an alternative way to improve solar cell efficiency by adding ZnO into active layer.

We have fabricated organic solar cell of a new low bandgap polymer poly[4,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b′]dithiophene-2,6-diyl-alt-4,7-bis(2-thienyl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-5′,5′′-diyl] (PCPDTTBTT). We have investigated for the first time the stability tests, ISOS-L-1 and ISOS-D-3, of PCPDTTBTT solar cells. Thermal annealing of PCPDTTBTT solar cells at 80°C brought about an improvement of photocurrent generation, stability, and efficiency of the solar cells. T80 value of PCPDTTBTT solar cell is about 150 hours which is close to P3HT (235 h). PCPDTTBTT is very promising polymer for both polymer solar cell efficiency and stability.
