Improved Performance of Polymer Solar Cells by Microwave Annealing
Microwave was applied to improve the efficiency of polymer solar cell based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6
6]-phenyl-C61-buytyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) bulk-heterojunction solar cells. With microwave radiation (2.45 GHz) for 10 min
short circuit current of 9.13 mA/cm
2
open circuit voltage of 0.63 V
and energy conversion efficiency of 3.21% were obtained
similar or surpass to those of devices annealed with a hot plate for 20 min at 150 ℃. We examined the effect of microwave on the active layer. From the Uv-Vis absorption spectrum and the SEM image after microwave
we found that more rough morphology and larger phase separation occurred
which benefit for dissociation of exciton and transportation of carrier.
