Herein, we report the synthesis of nontoxic pyrite iron sulfide (FeS) nanocrystals (NCs) using a two-pot method. Moreover, we study the influence of these NCs incorporated into the PTB7:PCBM active layer of bulk-heterojunction ternary organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. The OPV devices are fabricated with the direct configuration glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PTB7:PCBM:FeS/PFN/FM. The Field's metal (FM) is a eutectic alloy composed of 32.5% Bi, 51% In and 16.5% Sn by weight that melts at 62 °C. It is deposited on the active layer/PFN under atmospheric conditions. Ternary active layers are prepared by adding small amounts of the semiconducting FeS NCs at different weight ratios of 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 wt % with respect to the electron donor PTB7. With respect to the reference device (without FeS), a 21% increase in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) is observed for OPVs with 0.5 wt % FeS, such that the PCE of the OPVs is enhanced from 5.69 to 6.47%. According to the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney statistical tests, all OPV devices follow the same trend.
在此,我们报道了采用两步法合成无毒的黄铁矿硫化铁(FeS)纳米晶体(NCs)。此外,我们研究了将这些纳米晶体掺入体异质结三元有机光伏(OPV)电池的PTB7:PCBM活性层中的影响。OPV器件采用直接结构玻璃/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PTB7:PCBM:FeS/PFN/FM制备。菲尔德金属(FM)是一种共晶合金,按重量计由32.5%的铋、51%的铟和16.5%的锡组成,在62°C时熔化。它在大气条件下沉积在活性层/PFN上。通过以相对于电子给体PTB7的不同重量比0.0、0.25、0.5和1.0 wt%添加少量半导体FeS纳米晶体来制备三元活性层。相对于参考器件(无FeS),对于含0.5 wt% FeS的OPV,观察到功率转换效率(PCE)提高了21%,使得OPV的PCE从5.69%提高到6.47%。根据克鲁斯卡尔 - 沃利斯和曼 - 惠特尼统计检验,所有OPV器件都遵循相同的趋势。
