Microstructures and photovoltaic properties of C₆₀based solar cells with copper oxides, CuInS₂, phthalocyanines, porphyrin, PVK, nanodiamond, germanium and exciton diffusion blocking layers

Fabrication and characterization of P3HT:PCBM-based thin film organic solar cells with zinc phthalocyanine

“…Interfacial structure models and an energy level diagram of the present P3HT:PCBM:ZnPc solar cell are summarized and illustrated, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, referring the previous models and mechanisms [3,[15][16][17][18][19]. For the cell with the inverted structure, electrons are transported to an ITO substrate, and holes are transported to an Au electrode.…”

“…Organic thin-film solar cells have been developed as next-generation systems, and they have advantages of low cost, flexibility and light weight [1][2][3]. They can be fabricated at low temperatures by spin-coating and printing methods [4,5].…”

Fabrication and characterization of perovskite-based CH3NH3Pb1-xGexI3, CH3NH3Pb1-xTlxI3 and CH3NH3Pb1-xInxI3 photovoltaic devices

“…0.15 M and 0. 30 For the mesoporous TiO2 layer, the TiO2 paste was prepared with TiO2 powder (Aerosil, P-25) with poly(ethylene glycol) (Nacalai tesque, PEG #20000) in ultrapure water [26]. The solution was mixed with acetylacetone (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, 10 μL) and triton X-100 (Sigma Aldrich, 5 μL) for 30 min, and was left for 12 h to suppress the bubble in the solution.…”

“…Previously reported values were also used for the energy levels of the figures by adjusting them to the present work [1,27,30]. An energy barrier would exist at the semiconductor metal interface [31].…”

Fabrication and characterization of organic solar cells using metal complex of phthalocyanines

“…Phthalocyanines have a photovoltaic property, heat-resistance, stability under light, and high optical absorption in the visible range. The phthalocyanines have been applied for semiconducting devices, catalyst for fuel cells and solar cells [3][4][5][6]. Many studies on the modified phthalocyanine with various central metals and chemical substitutions have been reported to optimize open circuit voltage and conversion efficiency [7,8].…”
