Organic small molecule and polymer materials are being considered as solar cell material in place of silicon wafer. Organic solar cells are now a popular subject in international research. This study uses ZnPc and C 60 as respectively the donor material and acceptor material of Organic Solar Cells (OSC) and examines the effects of different blocking layers and structures (P-N junction and P-IN structure) on open-circuit voltage (V OC), short-circuit current (I SC), fill factor (FF) and efficiency of solar cell. It is found under the same thickness of 15nm, the short-circuit current generated by the BCP and BAlq 3 blocking layers is respectively 1.36 and 1.19 mA/cm 2. This is because the BCP has higher energy gap and Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) than BAlq 3 , which enables BCP to block excitons and holes better. When the P-IN structure is ZnPc(30 nm)/C 60 (40 nm) and ZnPc(30 nm)/ZnPc:C 60 (20 nm)/C 60 (40 nm), the short-circuit current produced could be increased to 2.67 mA/cm 2 respectively. This is because the intrinsic layer increases the contact area of P-N junction, enabling more excitons to dissociate into free charges.
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.
