The various energy constraints dictated by a series of global economic and environmental social factors require the international scientific community to find viable alternatives to conventional energy sources. Renewable energies such as photovoltaics is among the most coveted and developed energy sources worldwide. Technology of inorganic semiconductor-based silicon and other developed considerably and responds more to the desired energy goals Technology of inorganic semiconductor is very expensive and requires considerable resources making it limited to the most powerful country in the world The technology of organic semiconductor is much easier and more accessible which promises a very bright. It can be considered as a real alternative for countries with limited resources for the widespread use of solar energy. This research is in the field of preparation and characterization of organic solar cells based on semiconducting polymers. After having carried out a scientific statement on the technology of organic semiconductors have been able to achieve in collaboration with the Department of Industrial Chemistry a multilayer organic cell where the polymer is polyaniline. The disadvantage of this type of solar cells is its low efficiency. The cell we have developed to present a comparison of the performance the literature. This technology must be improved to increase its performance may not be on inorganic cells but enough to meet domestic needs.

AbstractDeveloping effective and low‐cost organic semiconductors is an opportunity for the development of organic solar cells (OPV). Herein, we report the molecular design, synthesis and characterization of two molecules with D–A–D–A configuration: 2-cyano-3-(5-(8-(3,4-ethylenodioxythiophen-5-yl)-2,3-diphenylquinoxalin-5-yl)thiophen-2-yl)acrylic acid (6) and 2-cyano-3-(5-(2,3-diphenyl-8-(thiophen-2-yl)quinoxalin-5-yl)thiophen-2-yl)acrylic acid (7). Moreover, we investigated the structural, theoretical and optical properties. The distribution of HOMO/LUMO orbitals and the values of the ionization potential indicate good semiconducting properties of the compounds and that they can be a bipolar material. Also, the optical study show good absorption in visible light (λabs 380–550 nm). We investigate the theoretical optoelectronic properties of obtained compounds as potential materials for solar cells.

Abstract Polymer-based organic solar cells are of great interest as they can be produced with low-cost techniques and also have many interesting features such as flexibility, graded transparency, easy integration, and lightness. However, conventional wide bandgap polymers used for the light-absorbing layer significantly affect the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells because they collect sunlight in a given spectrum range and due to their limited stability. Therefore, in this study, polymers with different bandgaps were used, which could allow for the production of more stable and efficient organic solar cells: P3HT as the wide bandgap polymer, and PTB7 and PCDTBT as low bandgap polymers. These polymers with different bandgaps were combined with PCBM to obtain increased efficiency and optimum photoactive layer in the organic solar cell. The obtained devices were characterized by measuring optical, photoelectrical, and morphological properties. Solar cells using the PTB7 and PCDTBT polymers had more rough surfaces than the reference cell using P3HT. The use of low-bandgap polymers improved Isc significantly, and when combined with P3HT, a higher Voc was obtained.

This article presents the results of research output voltage characteristics of solar cells on an organic basis with the use of P3HT: PCBM system. There were produced organic solar cells in a coating in air, current-voltage characteristics were measured. It was determined the characteristic influence of a substrate cleaning and annealing temperature of layers applied on fill factor and conversion efficiency.

ABSTRACTA series of fluorine appended highly conjugated fullerenes were prepared containing fluoro-α-cyanostilbene and aryl ester units. These modified PCBM dyads are fully characterized by NMR, Mass spectrometry, UV-vis, and cyclic voltammetry (Figures 1-4). It was found that the presence of fluoro-α-cyanostilbenes and esters affects the cyclic voltammetry and absorption in the UV-Vis region. The PCBA modified fullerenes significantly influences the HOMO-LUMO energy and wide absorption compared to PCBM.
