Enhancement of the power conversion efficiency for organic photovoltaic cells with a Liq/bathocuproine electron transport bilayer

초록

Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells based on a poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):fullerene derivative [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) active layer with a bathocuproine (BCP)/8-hydroxyquinoline lithium (Liq) electron transport layer were fabricated to enhance their power conversion efficiency (PCE). Absorbance spectra showed that the absorbance intensity of the spectra for the P3HT:PCBM active layer with a Liq layer in the wave-length between 500 and 600 nm was enhanced due to the damage of the active layer. The PCE of the fabricated OPV cells with a Liq/BCP layer was significantly enhanced by up to 4.29% in comparison with that of OPV cells with a BCP or a Liq layer.
