Good light harvesting properties and matched energy levels as well as enhanced Jsc value and high Voc value in solar cells were achieved simultaneously by construction of the D–A–π–A type regular terpolymers of PIDT-DTQ-TT, finally leading to the maximum PCE value of 6.63% in PSCs.

Abstract From ~1500 published journal papers on organic photovoltaics (OPVs), we extracted OPV performance parameters of power conversion efficiency (PCE), open circuit voltage (VOC) and short circuit current density (JSC) and chemical structures of photovoltaic layer materials to investigate the relation between the extracted data of OPVs accompanied by non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). Our analysis indicated that there was a suitable range of VOC for high PCE or JSC in NFAs. We also investigated the correlation between the performance parameters and chemical structures of small molecule NFAs. Our approach may enable us to provide new design strategy for high performance OPVs.

ABSTRACTThis article describes design of fullerene-based electron-accepting materials to obtain high performance in organic thin-film photovoltaic devices. A 1,4-bis(dimethylphenylsilylmethyl)[60]fullerene gives higher open circuit voltage than 1,2-diadduct because of smaller π-conjugated systems, and enables columnar fullerene-core array for high electron mobility and thermal crystallization for ideal phase separation with electron-donor materials. A 56π-electron fullerene derivative possessing the dihydromethano group as the smallest carbon addend does not disrupt fullerene-fullerene contact in solid state, giving high open-circuit voltage without decreasing of short-circuit current density and fill factor.

Natural dyes have attracted much researcher’s attention due to their low-cost production, simple synthesis processes and high natural abundance. However the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based natural dyes have higher tendency to degradation. This article reports on the enhancement of performance and stability of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using natural dyes. The natural dyes were extracted from papaya leaves by ethanol solvent at a temperature of 50 °C. Then the extracted dyes were isolated and modified into Mg-chlorophyll using column chromatography. Mg-chlorophyll was then synthesized into Fe-chlorophyll to improve stability. The natural dyes were characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The performance of DSSCs was tested using a solar simulator. The results showed the open-circuit voltage, the short-circuit current density, and the efficiency of the extracted papaya leaves-based DSSCs to be 325 mV, 0.36 mA/cm2, and 0.07%, respectively. Furthermore, the DSSCs with purified chlorophyll provide high open-circuit voltage of 425 mV and short-circuit current density of 0.45 mA/cm2. The use of Fe-chlorophyll for sensitizing the DSSCs increases the efficiency up to 2.5 times and the stability up to two times. The DSSCs with Fe-chlorophyll dyes provide open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, and efficiency of 500 mV, 0.62 mA/cm2, and 0.16%, respectively. Further studies to improve the current density and stability of natural dye-based DSSCs along with an improvement in the anchor between dyes and semiconducting layers are required.

AbstractIn this work we present data on investigation of the current-voltage and capacitance characteristics of Au/PS Schottky type structures in the presence of different hydrogen-containing solutions (glucose, ethanol, methanol, boric acid, sodium tetraborate pentahydrate, sodium borohydride, benzine, KOH). Generation of the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current density and capacitance up to 0.55 V, 25 mA/cm2 and 1μF respectively on placing of Au/PS structures in these solutions was discovered. This effect is mainly caused by hydrogen component of solutions. The possible mechanism generation of voltage and capacitance in metal/PS sensors hydrogen-containing solutions is suggested. The advantage of metal/PS Schottky type sensors consists in working without applying external electricity.
