Enhancing the Photovoltaic Performance by Tuning the Morphology of Polymer:PC71BM Blends with a Commercially Available Nucleating Agent
Source abstract
Abstract
The use of a commercially available nucleating agent as the additive for the fabrication of polymer:PC71BM-based active layers by solution-processing can greatly enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells (BHJ PSCs). The enhancement of device performance is mainly due to the addition of nucleating agent, which is able to regulate the drying process of the active layer and decrease the oversized domain size of conjugated polymers. Via this effective strategy to optimize the film morphology, the designed device exhibits an enhancement as great as 30.8%.
