Organic Photovoltaic Cells with Improved Performance Using Bathophenanthroline as a Buffer Layer

The role of bathophenanthroline （Bphen） as a buffer layer inserted between fullerene （C60） and Ag cathode in organic photovoltaic （OPV） cell was discussed. By introducing Bphen as a buffer layer with thicknes from 0 to 2.5 nm, the power conversion efficiency of the OPV cell based on copper phthalocyanine （CuPc） and C60 was increased from 0.87% to 2.25% under AM 1.5 solar illumination at an intensity of 100 mW/cm^2, which was higher than that of bathocuproine used as a buffer layer. The photocurrent-voltage characteristics showed that Bphen effectively improves electron transport through C60 layer into Ag electrode and leads to balance charge carrier transport capability. The influence of Bphen thickness on OPV cells was also investigated. Furthermore, the absorption spectrum shows that an additional Bphen layer enhances the light harvest capability of CuPc/C60.

Significant Enhancement in Built-in Potential and Charge Carrier Collection of Organic Solar Cells using 4-（5-hexylthiophene-2-yl）-2,6-bis（5- trifluoromethyl）thiophen-2-yl）pyridine as a Cathode Buffer Layer

An electron transporting material of TFTTP （4-（5-hexylthiophene-2-yl）-2,6-bis（5-trifluoromethyl）thiophen-2-yl）pyridine） was investigated as a cathode buffer layer to enhance the power efficiency of organic solar cells （OSCs） based on subphthalocyanine and C60. The overall power conversion efficiency was increased by a factor of 1.31 by inserting the TFTTP interfacial layer between the active layer and metallic cathode. The inner mechanism responsible for the performance enhancement of OSCs was systematically studied with the simulation of dark diode behavior and optical field distribution inside the devices as well as the characterization of device photocurrent. The results showed that the TFTTP layer could significantly increase the built-in potential in the devices, leading to the enhanced dissociation of charge transfer excitons. In addition, by using TFTTP as the buffer layer, a better Ohmic contact at C60/metal interface was formed, facilitating more efficient free charge carrier collection.

Tetraalkyl-substituted zinc phthalocyanines used as anode buffer layers for organic light-emitting diodes

Two soluble tetraalkyl-substituted zinc phthalocyanines(ZnPcs)for use as anode buffer layer materials in tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum(Alq3)-based organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)are presented in this work.The holeblocking properties of these Zn Pc layers slowed the hole injection process into the Alq3 emissive layer greatly and thus reduced the production of unstable cationic Alq3(Alq3^+)species.This led to the enhanced brightness and efficiency when compared with the corresponding properties of OLEDs based on the popular poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS)buffer layer.Furthermore,because of the high thermal and chemical stabilities of these Zn Pcs,a nonaqueous film fabrication process was realized together with improved charge balance in the OLEDs and enhanced OLED lifetimes.

Enhanced charge carrier injection in heterojunction organic field-effect transistor by inserting an MoO_3 buffer layer

A top-contact organic field-effect transistor （OFET） is fabricated by adopting a pentacene/1,11-bis（di-4- tolylaminophenyl） cyclohexane （TAPC） heterojunction structure and inserting an MoO3 buffer layer between the TAPC organic semiconductor layer and the source/drain electrode. The performances of the heterojunction OFET, including output current, field-effect mobility, and threshed voltage~ are all significantly improved by introducing the MoO3 thin buffer layer. The performance improvement of the modified heterojunction OFET is attributed to a better contact formed at the Au/TAPC interface due to the MoO3 thin buffer layer, thereby leading to a remarkable reduction of the contact resistance at the metal/organic interface.

Influence of double AlN buffer layers on the qualities of GaN films prepared by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition

In this paper we report that the GaN thin film is grown by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition on a sapphire （0001） substrate with double A1N buffer layers. The buffer layer consists of a low-temperature （LT） A1N layer and a high-temperature （HT） A1N layer that are grown at 600 ℃ and 1000 ℃, respectively. It is observed that the thickness of the LT-A1N layer drastically influences the quality of GaN thin film, and that the optimized 4.25-min-LT-A1N layer minimizes the dislocation density of GaN thin film. The reason for the improved properties is discussed in this paper.

Growth and Characterization of Doped CeO_2 Buffers on Ni-W Substrates for Coated Conductors Using Metal Organic Deposition Method

CeO2 and Ce0.8M0.2O2-d films （M = Mn, Y, Gd, Sm, Nd and La） with （00l） preferred orientation have been prepared on biaxially textured Ni-W substrates by metal organic decomposition （MOD） method. The factors influencing the formation of cracks on the surface of these CeO2 and doped CeO2 films on Ni-W substrates were explored by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） analysis, atomic force microscopy （AFM） and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）. The results indicate that many factors, such as the change of the ionic radii of doping cations, the transformation of crystal structure and the formation of oxygen vacancies in lattices at high annealing temperature, may be related to the formation of cracks on the surface of these films. However, the crack formation shows no dependence on the crystal lattice mismatch degree of the films with Ni-W substrates. Moreover, the suppression of surface cracks is related to the change of intrinsic elasticity of CeO2 film with doping of cations with a larger radius. SEM and AFM investigations of Ce0.8M0.2O2-d （M = Y, Gd, Sm, Nd and La） films reveal the dense, smooth and crack-free microstructure, and their lattice parameters match well with that of YBCO, illuminating that they are potentially suitable to be as buffer layer, especially as cap layer in multi-layer architecture of buffer layer for coated conductors.

Improvement of electro-optic performances in white organic light emitting diodes with color stability by buffer layer and multiple dopants structure

A series of white phosphorescent OLED devices with buffer layer and multiple dopant structure is investigated in order to obtain better electro-optic performances and color stability. The color coordinate and color stability are related to the location of multiple dopants layer, and the optimized location can compensate for the change of the blue emission intensity under a high voltage and stabilize the spectrum. The electro-optic performances and color stability can be further improved by changing the composition and thickness of the buffer layer between the emitting layer and the electron transport layer.In device B2, the distance from multiple dopant layer to buffer layer is 2 nm and the thickness of buffer layer is 5 nm,the maximum luminance, current density, and power efficiency can reach 9091 cd/m^2, 364.5 mA/cm^2, and 26.74 lm/W,respectively. The variation of international commission on the illumination（CIE） coordinate of device B2 with voltage increasing from 4 V to 7 V is only（0.006, 0.004）.

Photocurrent analysis of organic photovoltaic cells based on CuPc/C_(60) with Alq_3 as a buffer layer

The performance of an organic photovoltaic （OPV） cell based on copper phthatocyanine CuPc/C60 with a tris- （8-hydroxyquinolinato） aluminum （Alq3） buffer layer has been investigated. It was found that the power conversion efficiency of the device was 1.51% under illumination with an intensity of 100 mW/cm^2, which was limited by a squareroot dependence of the photocurrent on voltage. The photocurrent optical power density characteristics showed that the OPV cell had a significant space-charge limited photocurrent with a varied saturation voltage and a three quarters power dependence on optical power density. Also, the absorption spectrum was measured by a spectrophotometer, and the results showed that the additional Alq3 layer has a minor effect on photocurrent generation.

Investigation on Lanthanum Fluoride as a Novel Cathode Buffer Material Layer for the Enhancement of Stability and Performance of Organic Solar Cell

This article presents the investigation on very thin Lanthanum Fluoride (LaF3) layer as a new cathode buffer layer (CBL) for organic solar cell (OSC). OSCs were fabricated with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) polymer blend at 1:1 ratio. Electron-beam evaporation at room temperature was used to deposit 3 and 5 nm thick LaF3 layer. A very smooth surface of LaF3 with an average roughness of 0.2 nm has been observed by the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) that is expected to prevent diffusion of cathode metal ion through it and thereby enhance the lifetime and stability of OSC. Huge enhancement of JSC and VOC was also observed for 3 nm-thick LaF3 CBL. Several excellent features of the LaF3 layer such as, transporting electron through tunneling, blocking of holes to the cathode, minimizing recombination, protecting the photoactive polymer from ambient oxygen, and reducing degradation/oxidation of any low work function layer at the cathode interface, might have contributed to the performance enhancement of OSC. The experimental findings indicate the promise of LaF3 to be an excellent CBL material for OSC.

Concentration control of volatile organic compounds by ionic liquid absorption and desorption

Volatile organic compounds(VOCs)are difficult to be eliminated safely and effectively because of their large concentration fluctuations.Thus,maintaining a stable concentration of VOCs is a significant study.In this research,H2O,Tween-80,[Emim]BF4,[Emim]PF6,and[Hnmp]HSO4 were applied to absorb and desorb simulated VOCs.The ionic liquid[Emim]BF4 demonstrated the best performance and was thus selected for further experiments.As the ionic liquid acted as a buffer,the toluene concentration with a fluctuation of 2000–20000 mg·m-3 was stabilized at 6000–12000 mg·m-3.Heating distillation(90°C)was highly efficient to recover[Emim]BF4 from toluene.The regenerated[Emim]BF4 could retain its initial absorption capacity even after multiple cycles.Moreover,[Emim]BF4 had the same buffer function on various aromatic hydrocarbons.

The enhanced performance of a squaraine compound, with 2,4-bis[4-（N,N-diisobutylamino）-2,6-dihydroxyphenyl] squaraine as the donor and [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester （PC71BM） as the acceptor, in solution-processed or- ganic photovoltaic devices is obtained by using UV-ozone-treated MoO3 as the hole-collecting buffer layer. The optimized thickness of the MoO3 layer is 8 nm, at which the device shows the best power conversion efficiency （PCE） among all devices, resulting from a balance of optical absorption and charge transport. After being treated by UV-ozone for 10 min, the transmittance of the MoO3 film is almost unchanged. Atomic force microscopy results show that the treated surface morphology is improved. A high PCE of 3.99% under AM 1.5 G illumination （100 mW/cm2） is obtained.
