Organic solar cells (OSCs) based on organic semiconductors are currently an attractive field of research due to advantages such as solution process, ease of fabrication and potential of flexible device. At present, many studies have been conducted on bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) OSCs based on designing new photoactive materials and optimizing device structure, which achieve high efficiencies of more than 12%.
In inverted structured OSCs, hole extraction layer (HEL), PEDOT:PSS, with high conductivity and transparency, was introduced on photoactive layer via solution process. However, the corrosive nature of polystyrene sulfonate is harmful for photoactive layer with respect to stability of device. It can be good alternative that introducing modified HELs like neutral polyelectrolytes, metal oxides and hybrid materials via solution process for high performance and stability in ambient atmosphere.
In this study, we fabricated OSCs with conjugated polyelectrolytes and metal oxide hybrid HELs to enhanced performance and stability in ambient atmosphere. As a result, hybrid HEL introduced device exhibited enhanced stability than PEDOT:PSS based device.
Keywords: Organic-organic hybrid solar cells, Hole extraction layer, Conjugated polyelectrolytes
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
