Organic solar cells are a favorable alternative to their inorganic counterparts because the functional layers of these devices can be processed with printing or coating on a large scale. In this study, a novel polymer was synthesized, blended with fullerene and deposited with inkjet printing for solar cell applications. Devices with printed layers were compared to those with spin coated films in order to evaluate inkjet printing as a thin film deposition method. Efficiency values of 3.7% were found for devices with inkjet printed or spin coated layers. Inkjet printing can be used to successfully process the active layers of organic solar cells consisting of novel polymers without sacrificing device performance.
有机太阳能电池是其无机同类产品的一个有利替代方案，因为这些器件的功能层可以通过印刷或涂层进行大规模加工。在本研究中，合成了一种新型聚合物，与富勒烯混合，并通过喷墨印刷沉积用于太阳能电池应用。将具有印刷层的器件与具有旋涂膜的器件进行比较，以评估喷墨印刷作为一种薄膜沉积方法。发现喷墨印刷或旋涂层的器件效率值为3.7%。喷墨印刷可用于成功加工由新型聚合物组成的有机太阳能电池的活性层，而不会牺牲器件性能。
