Efficient planar heterojunction based on a-sexithiophene/fullerene through the use of MoO3/CuI anode buffer layer

H. Ftouhi et al.

Summary: This research investigated the influence of double HTL MoO3/CuI on the performance of PHJ-OPV, and found that using double HTL can significantly improve the efficiency of PHJ-OPV. This is because both MoO3 and CuI have positive effects on hole collection and the nucleation and growth of alpha-6T. Additionally, CuI leads to important structural changes in alpha-6T, improving light absorption, roughness, and hole mobility.

Restructuring and interlayer phenomenon on tandem architecture to improve organic solar cell behaviour

Reshma Liyakath et al.

Summary: Tandem solar cells offer an efficient way to collect a wide spectrum of solar radiation by integrating subcells with varying bandgap, but the understanding of the working phenomenon and significance of the interfacial layer is lacking. Investigation on factors like interfacial engineering, optical optimization, and efficiency characteristics suggests that an effective interlayer attribute is crucial for achieving higher efficiency. Additionally, a higher efficiency tandem solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of about 8.2% can be achieved through different absorption bands and enhanced interlayer designs.

Review on performance analysis of P3HT:PCBM-based bulk heterojunction organic solar cells

Ishan C. Ghosekar et al.

Summary: Organic solar cells (OSCs) show strong potential in future solar cell technology due to their low production costs, small weight, printability, solution processing, and ability to use flexible substrates. Major specifications for commercializing OSCs include long device lifespan, enhanced environmental stability, and high power conversion efficiency. Developing low energy gap organic polymers, transport materials, and multi-layer system architecture can increase PCE, but challenges remain in achieving environmental stability and longevity.

Progress and prospects of thick-film organic solar cells

Yilin Chang et al.

Summary: With the continuous improvements in laboratory-scale organic solar cell performances, the development of efficient OSCs with thick active layers compatible for large-area printing processes is crucial for commercialization. Despite achieving high power conversion efficiencies using non-fullerene acceptors in thin-film OSCs, thick-film OSCs still lag behind due to increased charge recombination probability. Developing highly efficient photoactive materials for thick-film OSCs to exhibit optimal charge generation and transport morphology is essential for transitioning to industrial high-throughput manufacturing.
