Abstract:In this study, the authors have shown the power conversion efficiency of flexible organic solar cells. The structure of the device is PET/ITO/PEDOT: PSS/P3HT: PCBM/Al. P3HT (poly-3-hexylthiophene). It was used as an electron donor, PCBM ([6, 6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester) as an electron acceptor and PEDOT: PSS used as a HIL (hole injection layer). These materials were deposited by spin coating method on the flexible substrates. Photolithography method is used to etch ITO. The electrical parameters of the fabricated cells were investigated by means of J (V), FF (fill factor), the efficiency (η), photocurrent and IPCE measurement. It was observed that 45% of the absorbed photons are converted into current. The results obtained using etching technology by photolithography is better than that obtained in the clean room.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
