Improved Thermal Stability of Polymer Solar Cells by Incorporating Porphyrins
Abstract
Thermal stability has been the important issue in organic solar cell, especially for the large scale fabrication and application in the future. In this work, a new strategy involving the introduction of porphyrin compound (BL) is proposed to prevent the [6,6]‐phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) aggregation. The supramolecular interactions between PC61BM and BL are first demonstrated in PC61BM:BL binary blend, and then the effect of BL on P3HT:PC61BM blend is qualitatively and quantitatively studied by differential scanning calorimetry, UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, optical microscopy, and fluorescence techniques. It is found that the BL addition not only stabilizes the morphology of P3HT:PC61BM blend films, but also shows a good ability to maintain the electron mobility by depressing the PC61BM crystallization. And the thermal stability of the devices based on P3HT:PC61BM:BL ternary blend films is therefore greatly improved. For example, 8 wt% BL doping drops the power conversion efficiency by 10.5% relative to its peak value after 48 h of annealing at 130 °C, while 71.5% of decrease is obtained for the device without BL after only 3 h of annealing. This strategy is preliminarily proved to be universal and will show great potentials in future commercialization of polymer solar cells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
