For å kunne utnytte molekylets klumpetheten i denne fremgangsmåte, er det viktig å kjenne betingelsene for filmdannelse ved spinnbelegging. For det første må de p-type og n-type halvledere være i stand til å bli oppløst i oppløsningsmidlene. Når noe materiale gjenstår, vil det bli den store kjernen av domenene i fotoaktive laget. Bruken av en tilstrekkelig kommersiell filter for individuelle løsningsmidler er anbefalt for å fjerne det gjenværende materiale. Deretter må forløperen oppløsning hvori moleky...

Organiske fotoelektriske anordninger er ansett lovende fornybare energikilder på grunn av deres lave fremstillingskostnad og lav vekt 1-7. På grunn av disse fordelene, har et stort antall forskere vært nedsenket i dette lovende området. I det siste tiåret, dye-sensitivisert, organisk tynn-film, og perovskitt-sensibiliserte solceller har oppnådd betydelig fremgang i kraft konvertering effektivitet på dette området 8. Spesielt organiske tynnfilm solceller og BHJ organiske tynnfilm solcelleteknologi er effektive og kostnadseffektive løsninger for utnyttelse av solenergi. Videre er energikonverteringseffektiviteten nådde over 10% ved bruk av lav-bånd-gap polymerer som elektrondonor og Fulle derivater som elektronakseptor (fenyl-C 61-smørsyre-metylester: [60] eller PCBM fenyl-C 71 smør-Acid-Methyl Ester: [70] PCBM) 9-11. Videre vil en del forskere have allerede rapportert betydningen av BHJ struktur i det fotoaktive lag, som er bygget med lav-bånd-gap polymerer og Fulle derivater for å oppnå en høy total effektivitet. Men Fulle derivater er luft-sensitive. Derfor er en luft stabil elektronaksepterende materiale som kreves som et alternativ. Noen rapporter tidligere foreslått nye typer organiske fotovoltaiske celler som brukte n-type halvledende polymerer eller metalloksider som elektron akseptorer. Disse rapportene støttet utviklingen av luft stabil, Fullefrie, organiske tynnfilm-solceller 12-15. Men i motsetning til Fulle systemer eller n-type halvledende polymersystemer, å oppnå en tilfredsstillende ytelse av BHJ struktur i det fotoaktive lag, som har ladningsseparasjon og ladningsoverførings evner, er vanskelig i metalloksid systemer 16-17. Videre Fulle derivater og n-type halvledende polymerer har høy løseligheti mange løsningsmidler. Derfor er det lett å styre morfologien av det fotoaktive lag ved å velge en blekk-løsning som løsningsmiddel, som er forløperen til det fotoaktive lag 18-20. I motsetning til dette, i tilfelle av metall alkoksid systemer som brukes i kombinasjon med en elektrondonerende polymer, begge halvledere er uoppløselig i nesten alle oppløsningsmidler. Dette er fordi metallalkoksider ikke har en høy oppløselighet i løsningsmidlet. Derfor er selektiviteten av løsemidler for morfologi kontroll ekstremt lav. I denne artikkelen, rapporterer en metode for å styre morfologien av det fotoaktive lag ved anvendelse av molekylært klumpetheten å fremstille utskrivbare og høyt luft stabil BHJ solceller. Vi beskriver viktigheten av morfologi kontroll for fremdriften av Fullerene fritt BHJ solceller.

morphology control for fully printable organic&#8211;inorganic bulk-heterojunction solar cells based on a ti-alkoxide and semiconducting polymer

The photoactive layer of a typical organic thin-film bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) solar cell commonly uses fullerene derivatives as the electron-accepting material. However, fullerene derivatives are air-sensitive; therefore, air-stable material is needed as an alternative. In the present study, we propose and describe the properties of Ti-alkoxide as an alternative electron-accepting material to fullerene derivatives to create highly air-stable BHJ solar cells. It is well-known that controlling the morphology in the photoactive layer, which is constructed with fullerene derivatives as the electron acceptor, is important for obtaining a high overall efficiency through the solvent method. The conventional solvent method is useful for high-solubility materials, such as fullerene derivatives. However, for Ti-alkoxides, the conventional solvent method is insufficient, because they only dissolve in specific solvents. Here, we demonstrate a new approach to morphology control that uses the molecular bulkiness of Ti-alkoxides without the conventional solvent method. That is, this method is one approach to obtain highly efficient, air-stable, organic-inorganic bulk-heterojunction solar cells.

Vi har presentert en protokoll for fremstilling av fullt ut utskrivbare organisk-uorganisk BHJ solceller, samt en fremgangsmåte for å styre faseseparasjon struktur. Den solcelle ytelsen har blitt grundig undersøkt 27-31 når Ti (IV) isopropoksyd og ethoxide ble brukt som elektron-akseptere materialer (figur 1). Disse solceller oppviste en kortslutningsstrømtettheten (JSC) som er omtrent åtte ganger høyere enn den til enheter ved hjelp av &quot;Ti (IV) bu...
