Influence of an Inorganic Interlayer on Exciton Separation in Hybrid Solar Cells

Abstract: It has been shown that in hybrid polymer–inorganic photovoltaic devices not all the photogenerated excitons dissociate at the interface immediately, but can instead exist temporarily as bound charge pairs (BCPs). Many of these BCPs do not contribute to the photocurrent, as their long lifetime as a bound species promotes various charge carrier recombination channels. Fast and efficient dissociation of BCPs is therefore considered a key challenge in improving the performance of polymer–inorganic cells. Here we i… Show more

“…The need for high temperatures, specific metal films for oxidation, and complex compound precursors in these techniques, as well as challenges in reproducibility, highlight the need for new methods to reliably deposit enabling films for cost‐effective quantum devices. Recently, atmospheric pressure spatial atomic layer deposition (AP‐SALD) systems have been utilized to grow uniform films for different applications including solar cells, transistors, and light emitting diodes . AP‐SALD is a fast and scalable thin film deposition technique that can operate at atmospheric pressure in the open air (i.e., no deposition chamber).…”

“…The same group has dedicated efforts to deposit transparent conductive oxides (TCO) layers and more complex oxides for application in photovoltaic devices [51,56,84,85]. Prof. Driscoll's group was the first one to apply the SALD technique for the deposition of active layers for new-generation solar cells [52,[71][72][73][74]. For example, Muñoz-Rojas et al showed that a 15-nm thick amorphous TiO 2 layer can act as an efficient hole blocking layer in bulk heterojunction solar cells [72].…”
