Effects of Electrodes on The Optical Performance of CuPc/C60 Bilayer Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells
The effects of electrodes on the optical performance of bilayer heterojunction organic solar cells have been investigated by employing MATLAB and transfer matrix method. The simulations reveal that the absorption of active layer is mainly influenced by phase shift of reflection in top electrode but not the transmittivity when microcavity structure is introduced into bilayer heterojunction organic solar cells. A significant improvement of light absorption has been achieved due to the optical resonance effect by adjusting the thickness of top capping layer. Furthermore
the simulations demonstrate that both reflectivity and reflection phase shift of back electrode play important roles in active layer optical absorption when one-dimensional photon-crystals(1DPCs) composed of positive and negative refractive index materials are introduced into bilayer heterojunction organic solar cells. The optical absorption in new device can be enhanced at a broad wavelength range comparing to traditional device by adjusting the thickness of back electrode when the period of 1DPCs is 10.
