Regulating the Donor-Acceptor Interfaces to Reduce Trap Density for Efficient Indoor Organic Solar Cells

Bo Feng et al.

Summary: Organic solar cells (OSCs) have shown great promise for powering IoT and off-grid devices under indoor light. However, the performance of indoor devices may be underestimated due to trap-assisted charge recombination caused by differences in incident light. This study demonstrates that regulating the donor-acceptor interfaces is crucial for reducing trap density and improving the performance of indoor OSCs. The results provide novel optimization guidelines for high-performing indoor OSCs.

Charge Carrier Dynamics in Planar Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells

Yexiao Huang et al.

Summary: This study systematically evaluates the impact of ionization energy offset on charge transfer efficiency and charge carrier dynamics in different types of organic solar cells. It reveals that an ionization energy offset of approximately 0.5 eV contributes to efficient hole transfer and subsequent free charge generation, while reducing bimolecular charge recombination and triplet generation. The findings emphasize the importance of sizeable donor-acceptor ionization energy offsets for high-efficiency donor/acceptor material and device design in nonfullerene organic solar cells.

Mapping the energy level alignment at donor/acceptor interfaces in non-fullerene organic solar cells

Xian'e Li et al.

Summary: Energy level alignment at donor-acceptor heterojunctions is crucial for charge generation and recombination in organic photovoltaic devices. This study systematically investigates the energy level alignment and its variation at different interfaces. Contrary to previous assumptions, significant vacuum level shifts are observed at the interfaces, resulting in reduced interfacial energetic offsets and increased charge transfer state energies.

Achieving 19% Power Conversion Efficiency in Planar-Mixed Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells Using a Pseudosymmetric Electron Acceptor

Wei Gao et al.

Summary: By adopting the asymmetric selenium substitution strategy and using a pseudosymmetric electron acceptor, the power conversion efficiency of planar-mixed heterojunction organic solar cells (PMHJ OSCs) can be significantly improved. The increased dielectric constant and improved dimer packing lead to lower exciton binding energy, more efficient exciton dissociation, and reduced radiative recombination loss. These findings provide an effective way to develop highly efficient acceptor materials for OSCs.

Self-Structural Healing of Encapsulated Perovskite Microcrystals for Improved Optical and Thermal Stability

Ruxue Li et al.

Summary: The encapsulation of CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite microcrystal with a dense Al2O3 layer creates a microenvironment that allows the structure of the perovskite to self-heal under high temperature and long-time laser illumination, leading to a significant decrease in DLTS density and a 4-14 times enhancement of light emission. This micron-level environment acts as a self-sufficient high-vacuum growth chamber, maintaining excellent thermal stability of the modified structure for up to 2 years. This discovery provides a new perspective for improving the stability of perovskite and has practical implications for perovskite device applications.
