P-TYPE SENSITIZED ORGANIC SOLAR CELL WITH CASCADE ENERGY ALIGNMENT
When the single layer C60 device with the structure of indium tin oxide (ITO) /N,N-Di-(1-naphthyl)N,N-diphenyl-1,1-biphenyl)-4,4-diamine (NPB)/fullerene(C6o)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3)/ aluminum (Al) is treated as a p-type sensitized solar cell, some methods for improving charge transportation and suppressing charge backflow in dye-sensitized solar cells can be applied to increase the performance of Ceo device. In this study, a 5 nm layer of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) is inserted between ITO and NPB to realize this idea. This thin layer with higher mobility and higher dielectric constant than NPB forms a cascade energy alignment with NPB, improving hole injection from C60 into NPB and hole transportation from NPB to ITO. The power conversion efficiency of single layer C60 device with M0O3 is enhanced to 0.976 %, which is 3.92 times that of the device without MoO3. When MoO3 is replaced by copper phthalocyanine or rubrene, which has higher mobility than NPB and forms cascade energy structure with NPB, the power conversion efficiency of single layer C60 devices is improved to 0.539 % and 0.529 % respectively, which is 2.16 times and 2.12 times that of devices without such treatments.
