Preparation and Characteristics of Organic Solar Cells Based on Novel Transparent Conducting Oxides
Two heterojunction organic solar cells based different anode (ITO and ILTO) were investigated to compare the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cell (OSCs) in two types of devices with different hole-extracting electrodes. Except for a slight decrease in the open circuit voltage (
V
oc
)
the OSC with an ILTO anode exhibits an obvious increase in short-circuit current (
J
sc
) and fill factor (
FF
) as comparing with that of the ITO-anode OSC (
V
oc
=0.412 V
vs.
0.413 V
J
sc
=5.64 mA穋m
-2
vs.
3.26 mA穋m
-2
FF
=0.635
vs.
0.611). Sequentially
a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.45% in the ILTO-anode OSC is demonstrated while only 0.91% for the ITO-anode OSC is achieved. The improved PCE in the ILTO-anode OSC is mainly attributed to the energy level alignment between the work function of ILTO and the HOMO level of CuPc
and a higher light transmission in the UV region of the ILTO. Our results indicate that a suitable TCO can effectively improve the performance of organic optoelectronic devices.
