Organic-inorganic nanocomposites have the potential to be used in photovoltaic materials due to their eco-friendliness, suitable band gaps, and high stability. In this work, we integrated gold and FeO magnetic nanoparticles with poly-m-amino benzene sulfonic (m-ABS) to synthesize FeO@Au@poly-(m-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) (FeO@Au@m-ABS) magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles (MPNPs) to enhance the performance of the organic photovoltaic (OPV). These MPNPs exhibit broad UV-Vis absorption and a low band gap of 2.878 eV, enhancing their suitability for photovoltaic applications. The MPNPs were introduced into the ZnO electron transporting layer (ETL) and active layer to investigate the influence of MPNPs on the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the OPVs. When 0.1 vol% MPNPs were incorporated in the ETL, the OPVs achieved a PCE of 14.24% and a fill factor (FF) of 69.10%. On the other hand, when 0.1 vol% MPNPs were incorporated in the active layer, the OPVs showed a PCE of 14.11% and an FF of 68.83%. However, the OPVs without MPNPs only possessed a PCE of 13.15% and an FF of 63.69%. The incorporation of MPNPs increased the PCE by 8.3% in the OPV device. These findings suggest that FeO@Au@m-ABS MPNPs are promising nanocomposite materials for enhancing the performance of OPVs.
有机-无机纳米复合材料因其环保、合适的带隙和高稳定性而具有用于光伏材料的潜力。在这项工作中，我们将金和FeO磁性纳米颗粒与聚间氨基苯磺酸（m-ABS）整合，合成了FeO@Au@聚（间氨基苯磺酸）（FeO@Au@m-ABS）磁等离子体纳米颗粒（MPNPs），以提高有机光伏（OPV）的性能。这些MPNPs表现出宽广的紫外-可见吸收和2.878 eV的低带隙，增强了它们在光伏应用中的适用性。将这些MPNPs引入ZnO电子传输层（ETL）和活性层，以研究MPNPs对OPV功率转换效率（PCE）的影响。当在ETL中掺入0.1体积%的MPNPs时，OPV的PCE达到14.24%，填充因子（FF）为69.10%。另一方面，当在活性层中掺入0.1体积%的MPNPs时，OPV的PCE为14.11%，FF为68.83%。然而，没有MPNPs的OPV仅具有13.15%的PCE和63.69%的FF。在OPV器件中掺入MPNPs使PCE提高了8.3%。这些发现表明，FeO@Au@m-ABS MPNPs是用于提高OPV性能的有前途的纳米复合材料。
