We have fabricated poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)/copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/fullerene (C60) ternary blend films. This photoactive layer is sandwiched between an indium tin oxide (ITO)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) photoanode and a bathocuproine (BCP)/aluminium photocathode. The thin films have been characterized by atomic force microscope (AFM) and ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy in order to study the influence of P3HT doping on the morphological and optical properties of the photoactive layer. We have also compared the I-V characteristics of three different organic solar cells: ITO/PEDOT:PSS/CuPc₀.₅:C60₀.₅/BCP/Al and ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT₀.₃:CuPc₀.₃:C60₀.₄/BCP/Al with and without annealing. Both structures show good photovoltaic behaviour. Indeed, the incorporation of P3HT into CuPc:C60 thin film improves all the photovoltaic characteristics. We have also seen that thermal annealing significantly improves the optical absorption ability and stabilizes the organic solar cells making it more robust to chemical degradation.
我们制备了聚(3 - 己基噻吩)(P3HT)/铜酞菁(CuPc)/富勒烯(C60)三元共混薄膜。该光活性层夹在氧化铟锡(ITO)/聚(3,4 - 乙撑二氧噻吩):聚(苯乙烯磺酸盐)(PEDOT/PSS)光阳极和浴铜灵(BCP)/铝光阴极之间。通过原子力显微镜(AFM)和紫外/可见光谱对薄膜进行了表征,以研究P3HT掺杂对光活性层的形态和光学性质的影响。我们还比较了三种不同有机太阳能电池的I - V特性:ITO/PEDOT:PSS/CuPc₀.₅:C60₀.₅/BCP/Al和ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT₀.₃:CuPc₀.₃:C60₀.₄/BCP/Al在有无退火情况下的特性。两种结构均表现出良好的光伏性能。实际上,将P3HT掺入CuPc:C60薄膜中改善了所有光伏特性。我们还发现热退火显著提高了光吸收能力,并使有机太阳能电池更加稳定,使其对化学降解更具抗性。
