A benzotrithiophene - based low band gap polymer for polymer solar cells with high open - circuit voltage †
novel electron-rich fused aromatic unit, namely benzo[1,2-b:3,4b’:5,6-d’’]trithiophene (BTT), which holds promise as a building block for semiconductor materials. In comparison with the wellknown benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b’]dithiophene (BDT), quantumchemical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G*) predict the BTT unit to 40 be of similar donor strength. Thus, with R being alkyl chains, BTT is predicted to act as a ...
متن کاملOpen-Circuit Voltage Physics in Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells
We have performed computer calculations to explore effects of the p/i interface on the opencircuit voltage in a-Si:H based pin solar cells. The principal conclusions are that interface limitation can occur for values of VOC significantly below the built-in potential VBI of a cell, and that the effects can be understood in terms of thermionic emission of electrons from the intrinsic layer into t...
متن کاملPolymer solar cells with enhanced open-circuit voltage and efficiency
Following the development of the bulk heterojunction1 structure, recent years have seen a dramatic improvement in the efficiency of polymer solar cells. Maximizing the open-circuit voltage in a low-bandgap polymer is one of the critical factors towards enabling high-efficiency solar cells. Study of the relation between open-circuit voltage and the energy levels of the donor/acceptor2 in bulk he...
متن کاملFullerene-free small molecule organic solar cells with a high open circuit voltage of 1.15 V.
A new small molecule named DTBTF with thiobarbituric acid as a terminal group was designed and synthesized as an acceptor for organic photovoltaic applications. DTBTF exhibits strong absorption in the visible region, and a relatively high lying LUMO energy level (-3.62 eV). All-small-molecule organic solar cells based on DR3TSBDT:DTBTF blend films show a considerable PCE of 3.84% with a high V(...
متن کاملSolar-blind UV detectors based on wide band gap semiconductors
Solid-state photon detectors based on semiconductors other than silicon are not yet considered mature technology but their current development opens new possibilities, also for space observations. Such devices are especially attractive for ultraviolet radiation detection, as semiconductor materials with band gaps larger than that of silicon can be produced and used as “visible-blind” or “solar-...
