Morphology versus Vertical Phase Segregation in Solvent Annealed Small Molecule Bulk Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells

الملخص EN

The deep study of solvent annealed small molecules bulk heterojunction organic solar cells based on DPP(TBFu)2 : PC60BM blend is carried out.

To reveal the reason of the solvent annealing advantage over the thermal one, capacitance-voltage measurements were applied.

It was found that controlling the vertical phase segregation in the solar cells a high fullerene population in the vicinity of the cathode could be achieved.

This results in increase of the shunt resistance of the cell, thus improving the light harvesting efficiency.
