Metal Cathode

Bulk heterojunction solar cell has received significant attention over the past decade due to low cost power generation and the potential to develop a clean renewable energy source [. We investigated the effect of different type of metal cathodes on the power conversion efficiency of bulk heterojunction solar cell based on a blend of conjugated polymer poly [2-methoxy 5-(2-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) with titanium dioxide (TiO2). In this case of study, Aluminum (Al) and gold (Au) has been chosen as the metal cathode due to the difference of work function and their wide application in hybrid solar cell. We show that the choice of metal cathode plays a role in determining overall device efficiency through their impact on short-circuit current, open circuit voltage and fill factor due to the influence of work function. It is found that the device employing Al metal cathode which has low work function is showing a comparable performance to the Au metal electrode with fill factor of over 20 % and a power conversion efficiency of 3.3x10-3 %. Overall it is demonstrated that the matching between the work function of the cathode and photoactive layer MEH-PPV: TiO2 is the most important factor towards best bulk heterojunction solar cell performance.

AbstractPoly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) mixed with single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) (10:1) and doped with (0.1 M) perchloric acid (HClO4) in a solution-processed film, working as an excellent thin transparent conducting film (TCF) in organic solar cells, was investigated. This new electrode structure can be an outstanding substitute for conventional indium tin oxide (ITO) for applications in flexible solar cells due to the potential of attaining high transparency with enhanced conductivity, good flexibility, and good durability via a low-cost process over a large area. In addition, solution-processed vanadium oxide (VOx) doped with a small amount of PEDOT-PSS(PH1000) can be applied as a hole transport layer (HTL) for achieving high efficiency and stability. From these viewpoints, we investigate the benefit of using printed SWNTs-PEDOT-PSS doped with HClO4 as a transparent conducting electrode in a flexible organic solar cell. Additionally, we applied a VOx-PEDOT-PSS thin film as a hole transporting layer and a blend of PTB7 (polythieno[3,4-b] thiophene/benzodithiophene): PC71BM (phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester) as an active layer in devices. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were applied as an electron transport layer and Ag was used as the top electrode. The proposed solar cell structure showed an enhancement in short-circuit current, power conversion efficiency, and stability relative to a conventional cell based on ITO. This result suggests a great carrier injection throughout the interfacial layer, high conductivity and transparency, as well as firm adherence for the new electrode.

Illumination Time

In contrast to the solar cells based on inorganic semiconductors, organic solar cells degrade during illumination. Therefore, the influence of the illumination time on the efficiencies of an organic solar cell is investigated which reveals that under steady-state illumination at 1 sun (100 mW/cm2) the efficiency of the solar cell with the structure of ITO/CuPc/C60/BCP/Ag degrade significantly over few hours. There are three efficiencies that are of interest; Fill Factor (FF), Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE), and Quantum Yield (QY). Fill factor decreased less than power conversion efficiency and quantum yield, indicating that the degradation in those efficiencies is caused by photon-induced damage to the molecules that did not lead to an increase in internal resistance.
