Optical Performance Improving of Organic Film Solar Cell by Multiple Surface Coating
Low carrier mobility of organic materials limits the number of carriers extracted by electrodes. By increasing light absorption in the active layer
more excitons could be produced so as to increase current which extracted by electrodes. And the performance would be improved by this way. Photoelectric field distribution and excitons generated in P3HT:PCBM active layer were studied by the numerical modeling method. Based on it
the method of coating multilayer high reflectance films behind the cathode was proposed. Simulations reveal that the thickness of active layer plays a leading role in optical absorption. When the thickness of active layer is less than 160 nm and the thickness of Ag is less than 20 nm
coating multilayer high reflectance films could improve the optical performance of solar cells largely. Excitons increase fast with the thickness of active layer
and the number of excitons reaches an optimal value when the thickness of active layer is about 150 nm.
