Influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the photovoltaic efficiency of the ITO/PEDOT:PSS/fluorine copolymers/polythiophene: TiO2/Al architecture
Tóm tắt
Results of a study on the application of a copolymer of fluorine as acceptor and 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline as a donor in bulk heterojunction solar cells are given. To the best of our knowledge, 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline co-polymers were not applied in organic photovoltaic devices yet. Organic photovoltaic devices as well as devices of active layers with TiO2 nanocrystals of different crystallite size were investigated. The methods of polymer and TiO2 nanocrystllites synthesis are presented and their physical properties are given. The fabricated photovoltaic structures possess high values of U
oc
voltage as as well as relatively high parameters of I
sc
currents. The maximally achieved parameters corresponded to open circuit voltage U
oc
= 1.13[V], and short current density Isc = 33.49[μA] under illumination 1,3 [μW cm−2], which correspond to energy conversion efficiency equal to about 0.80 %. The TiO2 nanocrystallites play a crucial role in the photovoltaics parameters.
