Reducing optical losses in organic solar cells using microlens arrays: theoretical and experimental investigation of microlens dimensions.
The performance of organic photovoltaic devices is improving steadily and efficiencies have now exceeded 10%. However, the incident solar spectrum still largely remains poorly absorbed. To reduce optical losses, we employed a microlens array (MLA) layer on the side of the glass substrate facing the incident light; this approach does not interfere with the processing of the active-layer. We obse...
متن کاملReducing burn-in voltage loss in polymer solar cells by increasing the polymer crystallinity
Organic photovoltaics (OPV) are a promising technology with the potential for large scale production at very low cost. An industrial application of this technology could signicantly contribute to the global energy production, but was impeded by low efficiencies and lifetimes of organic photovoltaics. With power conversion efficiencies recently surpassing 10%, it is now imperative to investigat...
متن کاملMolecular weight dependent bimolecular recombination in organic solar cells.
Charge carrier recombination is studied in operational organic solar cells made from the polymer:fullerene system PCDTBT:PC71BM (poly[N-9''-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)]: [6,6]-phenyl-C70-butyric acid methyl ester). A newly developed technique High Intensity Resistance dependent PhotoVoltage is presented for reliably quantifying the bimolecul...
متن کاملAn overview of molecular acceptors for organic solar cells
Organic solar cells (OSCs) have gained serious attention during the last decade and are now considered as one of the future photovoltaic technologies for low-cost power production. The first dream of attaining 10% of power coefficient efficiency has now become a reality thanks to the development of new materials and an impressive work achieved to understand, control and optimize structure and m...
متن کاملImproved Open- Circuit Voltage in ZnO–PbSe Quantum Dot Solar Cells by Understanding and Reducing Losses Arising from the ZnO Conduction Band Tail
Colloidal quantum dot solar cells (CQDSCs) are attracting growing attention owing to significant improvements in efficiency. However, even the best depleted-heterojunction CQDSCs currently display open-circuit voltages (VOCs) at least 0.5 V below the voltage corresponding to the bandgap. We find that the tail of states in the conduction band of the metal oxide layer can limit the achievable dev...
