Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Relationship between the VOC Tuning Effect and the Interface Activation Energy Due to the Third Component Concentration in Ternary Organic Solar Cells(American chemical society, 2022-04-08); ; ; ; The open-circuit voltage (VOC) tuning effect due to the variation of the low concentration of the third component in ternary organic solar cells has been mainly attributed to interfacial phenomena. Up to date, the models reported in the literature to analyze such interfacial phenomena are based on optical characterization. In this work is proposed a different approach to study such a VOC tuning effect by using dark-current characteristics at different temperatures. Specifically, for PTB7-Th:PC71BM:ICBA-based solar cells, it is found that an increment of the third component concentration, that is, the fullerene ICBA, causes an increase in the activation energies (Ea) in an Arrhenius-type curve. This, in turn, decreases the reverse saturation current (J0) of the devices, thereby incrementing their VOC.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:5Heft:440 51 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Numerical simulation of a bilayer organic solar cell based on boron chromophore compounds as acceptors(IEEE, 2020-12-17); ; ; ; Organic solar cells fabricated with non-fullerene acceptors have proven to be a solution to reduce manufacturing costs. Besides the material selection, another way to reduce such costs is by optimizing the properties of both the materials and the interfaces which in turn would contribute to enhance the solar cells efficiency. This can be done with numerical simulations. Among non-fullerene materials, boron chromophores are relatively stable and chemically versatile compounds which have been usually used as donors in solar cells. In this work, planar solar cells based on PTB7 and boron compounds are proposed and simulated but by using the latter as acceptors. Specifically, we show the functionality of our proposed devices by analyzing the variation of both the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) and the influence of the non-intentional doping of the boron compounds with regard to the photovoltaic parameters of the solar cells. The properties of the materials such as the dielectric constant, energy levels, and non-intentional doping are taken from literature. We show that there are optimal values for LUMO and doping concentration to maximize the device efficiency. The causes of this behavior are analyzed using band diagram simulations.Konferenzbeitrag53 40 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Numerical study of efficient ternary planar hybrid solar cells using simple boron molecules as organic compounds(Elsevier Science, 2022-10); ; ; ; Ternary solar cells have proven to be a solution to absorb more photons at different wavelengths and reduce the recombination of charge carriers. Here, we propose a new hybrid organic-inorganic ternary planar solar-cell structure using a novel boron compound. The role of this material on the performance of the device with a polymer/borinate/ZnO configuration is studied. As the donor polymer, we evaluate P3HT, PTB7, and PCPDTBT; and three boron compounds with different properties, especially concerning the bandgap and trap energy depth. To validate the experimental electrical characteristics of the borinates, first, we simulate a bilayer structure with C60, subsequently, we simulate and analyze the whole device architecture. The ternary solar cell with PTB7 and a borinate with a bandgap of 1.66 eV and a medium trap energy depth of 0.95 eV above the HOMO level exhibit the highest efficiency, i. e. 11.7%. Furthermore, we present a layer thickness optimization of the materials to reach even higher efficiencies, up to 15.15%. Finally, the effect of the magnitude of the density of trap states in the borinate on the device performance is analyzed.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:13249 67
