Bulk heterojunction (BHJ) structure based active layers of PCDTBT/PC71BM were prepared by using different organic solvents for fabrication of organic solar cell (OSC) devices. Mixture of precursor solutions of PCDTBT/PC71BM in three different organic solvents was prepared to fabricate composite active layers by spin-coating process: chloroform; chlorobenzene; o-dichlorobenzene. Four different blend ratios (1 : 3–1 : 6) of PCDTBT: PC71BM were adopted for each organic solvent to clarify the effect on the resulting OSC device characteristics. Surface morphology of the active layers was distinctively affected by the blend ratio of PCDTBT/PC71BM in organic solvents. Influence of the blend ratio of PCDTBT/PC71BM on the OSC device parameters was discussed. Performance parameters of the resulting OSC devices with different composite active layers were comparatively investigated. Appropriate blend ratio and organic solvent to achieve better OSC device performance were proposed. Furthermore, from the UV-Vis spectrum of each active layer prepared using the PCDTBT/PC71BM mixed solution dissolved with different organic solvents, a possibility that the nanophase separation structure inside their active layer could appear was suggested.

This paper reports mainly a work of the influence of annealing on the solar cell which the active layer is made from poly (3-hexylthiophene) and [6,-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester. XRD analysis of the active layer indicates that the layer annealing can improve the film crystallization. With the reducing of light reflection rate, the light transmittance rate improves due to the annealing treatment of the active layer. Comparing in various annealing temperature, it is found that a better result can be obtained when the annealing temperature is 140 °C. At this annealing temperature, the organic solar cell brings out relatively high conversion efficiency in the experiment.
