Charge generation can proceed through two different paths in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) based organic solar cells (OSC) which are electron transfer from donor to acceptor and hole transfer from acceptor to donor. These processes can be controlled by electron affinity (EA) offsets and ionization energy (IE) offsets, respectively. Understanding the relationship between the IE offsets, EA offsets between donor and acceptor materials, and the performance of OSCs could improve the charge generation efficiency. We characterized the impact of large IE and EA offsets on device performances and more precisely on the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) using a wide bandgap polymer donor which has shallow IE: poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl)(P3HT) and non-fullerene acceptors (NFA). This provides a wide range of diagonal bandgaps (energy difference between the IE of the donor and the EA of the acceptor). We found that IQE decreases when the diagonal bandgap decreases. Thus, enables us to understand the relation between small diagonal bandgap and the decrease of the IQE in energy gap law framework. However, we observed low IQE, we also observed high exciton quenching which indicates efficient charge transfer in these systems. The low IQE can be explained due to charge recombination as our results demonstrated by geminate and non-geminate recombination. Understanding the relation between these different energy offsets and device performance would improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE), thus, pave the way towards more reliance on renewable energy.
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.
