Photovoltaic Characteristics

Photovoltaic heterojunction solar cells formed between n-type cadmium sulfide, CdS, and various p-type phthaloeyanines (Pc) such as H2Pc, ZnPc, MgPc, CuPc, MnPc, PbPc, and VOPc were investigated. The cells were prepared by electrodepositing thin CdS films onto conducting indium-tin oxide (ITO) followed by sequential vacuum deposition of the phthaloeyanines and gold layers. Among the seven phthaloeyanines studied, ZnPc and MgPc exhibited the highest photovoltaic activity. Some optimization work was done for both the ZnPc and MgPc heterojunction devices. The optimum thickness of CdS and phthaloeyanines was found to be 500 and 850 Å, respectively. Under an illumination of 50 mW cm−2, the photovoltaic characteristics of the ITO/CdS/ZnPc/Au cell were: Voc = 0.54 volts, Jsc = 285 μA cm−2, and η = 0.10%, while the ITO/CdS/MgPc/Au cell delivered Voc = 0.46 volts, Jsc = 231 μA cm−2, and η = 0.066%.

Zinc Tin Oxide

A thin Ag layer embedded between layers of zinc tin oxide (ZTO) are compared to cells using an indium tin oxide electrode was investigated for inverted organic bulk heterojunction solar cells employing a multilayer electrode. ZTO/Ag/ ZTO (ZAZ) electrode is the preparation at room temperature, a high transparency in the visible part of the spectrum, and a very low sheet resistance comparable to treated ITO without the need for any thermal post deposition treatment as it is necessary for ITO. The In-free ZAZ electrodes exhibit a favorable work function of 4.3 eV and are shown to allow for excellent electron extraction even without a further interlayer. This renders ZAZ a perfectly suited bottom electrode for inverted organic solar cells with simplified cell architecture.
