摘要: The implementation of proper charge carrier transport materials in p-i-n type organic solar cells strongly influences the device performance. Our investigation focuses on substitution standard layer sequence used at side electron transport, usually consisting either C60/exciton blocking layer/metal or n-C60/metal by a including window layer. Here, we evaluate transparent material 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTCDA), which guarantees loss free extraction from active due to good energy level alignment as well exciton its wide bandgap. It is demonstrated that upon exchange n-C60 for n-NTCDA, power conversion efficiency can be increased 10%.
