More stable hybrid organic solar cells deposited on amorphous Si electron transfer layer

Abstract: We report on defect densities, performance, and stability of organic/inorganic hybrid solar cells produced using n-doped inorganic amorphous silicon-carbide layers as the electron transport layer (ETL). The organic material was poly-3-hexyl-thiophene (P3HT) and heterojunction was formed using phenyl-C71-Butyric-Acid-Methyl Ester (PCBM). For comparison, inverted solar cells fabricated using Cs2CO3 as ETL were fabricated. Defect densities and subgap quantum efficiency curves were found to be nearly identical for… Show more

“…8 Ultraviolet and blue photons in a full spectrum are known to degrade organic solar cells much more strongly than a LED white light spectrum. 13 Since a use of perovskite cells will be as a top gap cell in a tandem cell arrangement, 14 we examine the photo-degradation of perovskite cells under a full spectrum illumination using an AM1.5 simulator.…”

“…The decrease is likely due to increased trap density. To investigate deep trap defects, the capacitance–frequency C ( f ) technique was used to obtain the DOS and the subgap QE was measured, as described next.…”

“…It is also noted that such defect states are meta-stable in nature and can be recovered with conjunction of appropriate device architecture and post degradation thermal annealing. [9,10,16] There are numerous attempts to eliminate or reduce the amount of photo-degradation which includes the use of in-organic amorphous silicon as electron transport layer (ETL) [17], use of amorphous silicon filter, amorphous silicon-organic (in-organic/organic) tandem solar cells etc. [18,19,20].…”
