We report that the efficiency of ITO/nc-TiO2/P3HT:PCBM/MoO3/Ag inverted polymer solar cells (PSCs) can be improved by dispersing CdS quantum dot (QD)-sensitized TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTs) in poly (3-hexylthiophene) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) layer. The CdS QDs are deposited on the TNTs by a chemical bath deposition method. The experimental results show that the CdS QD-sensitized TNTs (CdS/TNTs) do not only increase the light absorption of the P3HT:PCBM layer but also reduce the charge recombination in the P3HT:PCBM layer. The dependence of device performances on cycles of CdS deposition on the TNTs was investigated. A high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.52% was achieved for the inverted PSCs with 20 cyclic depositions of CdS on TNTs, which showed a 34% increase compared to the ITO/nc-TiO2/P3HT:PCBM/MoO3/Ag device without the CdS/TNTs. The improved efficiency is attributed to the improved light absorbance and the reduced charge recombination in the active layer.
我们报告说,通过在聚(3-己基噻吩)和[6,6]-苯基-C61-丁酸甲酯(P3HT:PCBM)层中分散 CdS 量子点(QD)敏化的 TiO2 纳米管阵列(TNTs),可以提高 ITO/nc-TiO2/P3HT:PCBM/MoO3/Ag 倒置聚合物太阳能电池(PSCs)的效率。CdS QDs 通过化学浴沉积法沉积在 TNTs 上。实验结果表明,CdS QD 敏化的 TNTs(CdS/TNTs)不仅增加了 P3HT:PCBM 层的光吸收,而且还减少了 P3HT:PCBM 层中的电荷复合。研究了 CdS 在 TNTs 上沉积循环次数对器件性能的影响。对于在 TNTs 上进行 20 次 CdS 沉积的倒置 PSCs,实现了 3.52%的高功率转换效率(PCE),与没有 CdS/TNTs 的 ITO/nc-TiO2/P3HT:PCBM/MoO3/Ag 器件相比,增加了 34%。效率的提高归因于活性层中光吸收的提高和电荷复合的减少。
