A solution processed ZnPc:PTDCI bulk heterojunction solar cells doped with iodine were fabricated and characterized. Photovoltaic properties of the solar cells were investigated by optical absorption, current densityvoltage characteristic and external quantum efficiency. The absorption of ZnPc:I2:PTDCI was observed in the (300-800) nm region. Solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of about 2.4% has been obtained using simply drop casting and spin-coating methods without special treatment. The peak of the external quantum efficiency characteristics of the ITO/PEDOT:PSS/ZnPc:I2:PTCDI/Al solar cells is 10%.
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.
