Layer-by-Layer Processed Ternary Organic Photovoltaics with Efficiency over 18%

Lingling Zhan et al.

Summary: This study proposes and demonstrates a method to optimize the morphology of the active layer in organic photovoltaic devices by combining the layer-by-layer (LbL) procedure and the ternary strategy. By adding an asymmetric electron acceptor to the binary donor:acceptor host, a vertical phase distribution is formed, leading to improved efficiency in OPV devices.

Improving quantum efficiency in organic solar cells with a small energetic driving force

Haiqin Liu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that a small energetic difference between the local excited state and the charge transfer state leads to low voltage loss, but results in a low short-circuit current density. By adding a polymer donor (PBDB-T) with similar chemical structure to PM7 in the ternary solar cells, the efficiency of the charge transfer state dissociation can be significantly improved, while maintaining the low voltage loss property of PM7:Y5.
