低沸点溶剂处理PEDOT:PSS薄膜提升光伏电池性能
Low Boiling-point Solvents Treatment of PEDOT:PSS Film for Optimized Photovoltaic Cell Performance
摘要
Abstract
As a popular hole transport material,poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)has been widely used in variety of optoelectronic devices. High boiling-point solvents were usually added into PEDOT:PSS solutions to enhance its conductivity,but simultaneously resulted in evident leakage current due to solvent residue. However,low boiling-point solvents,which are more easily removed,have not been effectively utilized. In this study,we found that the performance of the corresponding poly(3-hexy-thiophene)(P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester(PC61BM)polymer solar cells(PSCs)was improved without increasing the leak-age current after low boiling-point solvent treatment of PEDOT:PSS films by dripping isopropanol,ethanol or acetone then spin-coating. Especially,after the isopropanol treatment,the short-circuit current density of PSC increased from 8. 15 mA/cm2 to 9. 17 mA/cm2,and the power conversion efficiency reached 3. 5%,an 18. 6% enhancement compared to the control device. The analysis revealed that the solvent-treated PEDOT:PSS films demonstrated dif-fetent surface morphology,enhanced light transmission,and improved electrical conductivity due to the phase sepa-ration between PEDOT and PSS chains. Meanwhile,the hole transport capability of PEDOT:PSS increased after treatment,especially after the isopropanol treatment. These results suggested that low boiling-point solvents could be effectively utilized by this method and improved the optoelectronic properties of the PEDOT:PSS film.关键词
