“…The donor P3HT is characterized by a high mobility (0.1 cm 2 V −1 s −1 ) and a reduced band gap (1.9 eV) [55,66]. On the other hand, fullerene and fullerene derivatives have been frequently used as acceptors due to their mobility, specifically PC60BM, which was used frequently in combination with P3HT [64,[67][68][69]. However, as a consequence of its poor absorbance in the visible part of the solar spectrum, PC60BM was replaced with PC70BM [18,39,55,67,[70][71][72]].…”

Lately, there is a growing interest in organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells due to the organic materials’ properties and compatibility with various types of substrates. However, their efficiencies are low relative to the silicon ones; therefore, other ways (i.e., electrode micron/nanostructuring, synthesis of new organic materials, use of additives) to improve their performances are still being sought. In this context, we studied the behavior of the common organic bulk heterojunction (P3HT:PC70BM) deposited by matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) with/without 0.3% of 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) additive on flat and micro-patterned ITO substrates. The obtained results showed that in the MAPLE process, a small quantity of additive can modify the morphology of the organic films and decrease their roughness. Besides the use of the additive, the micro-patterning of the electrode leads to a greater increase in the absorption of the studied photovoltaic structures. The inferred values of the filling factors for the measured cells in ambient conditions range from 19% for the photovoltaic structures with no additive and without substrate patterning to 27% for the counterpart structures with patterning and a small quantity of additive.

“…The choice of the organic materials was based on the fact that, from the available polymers, P3HT and PC70BM (or PC71BM) are the most studied [9,52,56,64,65]. The donor P3HT is characterized by a high mobility (0.1 cm 2 V −1 s −1 ) and a reduced band gap (1.9 eV) [55,66].…”

Light absorption and device performance of organic solar cells with metamaterial perfect absorbers are examined, and their correlation is elucidated. The solar cells exhibit enhanced light absorption as well as device performance in the longer wavelength range. In the shorter wavelength range, the absorption is increased; however, the device performance is deteriorated. Precise nanofabrication and numerical calculations reveal the correlation between the improved light absorption and the device performance, which can be explained by the positions of the field localizations. In the longer wavelength range, the metamaterial perfect absorber confines light into the active layer, whereas in the shorter wavelength range, the field is localized outside the active layer.
