Enhanced photocurrent and stability of organic solar cells using solution-based TSCuPc interfacial layer
Résumé
Copper phthalocyanine-3,4′,4″,4‴ tetra-sulfonated acid tetrasodium salt (TS-CuPc) are promising interfacial materials for
organic photovoltaics (OPVs) because of their electrical properties, solution process ability and stability. In this article,
we report the fabrication of poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) OPV devices
incorporating solution-based TS-CuPc as electron transport layers that show promising enhancements of the device
photocurrent and stability. We also discuss the impact of the mechanism of Photochemical and photophysical behavior
and all parameters on device performance as well as the ambient degradation of these devices. In these results we showed
charge extraction improvement by the use of the TS-CuPc.
