摘要: The effects of interface roughness between donor and acceptor in a bilayer heterojunction solar cell were investigated on polymer–polymer system based poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) poly(dioctylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole) (F8BT). Both polymers are known to reorganize into semicrystalline structures when heated above their glass-transition temperature. Here, the bilayers thermally annealed below glass transition bulk (≈140 °C) at temperatures 90, 100, 110 °C for time periods from 2 min up 250 min. No change crystallinity could be observed those temperatures. However, X-ray reflectivity device characteristics reveal coherent trend upon heat treatment. In investigations, an increasing two is as function temperature annealing time, value 1 nm. Simultaneously, according devices show 80% increase power conversion efficiency (PCE) short p...
