The influence of structural and charge transport properties of PEDOT:PSS layers on the photovoltaic properties of polymer solar cells

Abstract: In this study, the effect of modification of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) morphology on its optical, charge transport, and photovoltaic properties of organic solar cells based on the P3HT:PC60BM bulk heterojunction is presented. It is shown that the addition of isopropyl alcohol to the PEDOT:PSS polymer solution and annealing of spin‐coated PEDOT:PSS film leads to a change in its morphology, charge transport, and optical properties. By an impedance spectroscopy technique, … Show more

“…Thus, the optimal ETL thickness should be as small as possible to provide good blocking properties at the tops of the layers, resulting in fast electron transfer and low resistive losses [23]. For HTL, the layer thickness is also of great importance, since the minimum time for the charge to pass through the layers will increase the main characteristics of the PSC by increasing the conductivity and reducing the probability of recombination [24][25][26][27].…”

“…It can be seen from the figure that the initial PEDOT:PSS film has a maximum at a wavelength of λ 1 = 214 nm with a spectral half-width of 10.2 nm. In the absorption spectra of all films, a shoulder λ 2 is observed with a maximum at 227 nm, which is associated with the absorption of the PSS -poly(styrenesulfonate) [20,23]. When ethyl alcohol is added to the film during preparation, the positions of the maxima in the absorption spectra do not change, only a decrease in the optical density values and a decrease in the half-width are observed (Figure 3a).…”

“…Fast transport of injected holes to the outer electrode is very important, since this reduces the probability of their reverse recombination. In our case, fast hole transport is provided by improving the structure of PEDOT:PSS after adding isopropyl alcohol to the initial solution, which leads to an improvement in the quality of the PEDOT:PSS/ITO interface [20].…”
