Influence of the Molecular Weight of Poly(3-hexylthiophene) on the Performance of Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells
Abstract
The efficiency of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)/[6,6]-phenyl C 61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) bulk heterojunction solar cells dramatically depends on the molecular weight of the donor polymer P3HT. Only for P3HTs with a number-average molecular weight ( M n ) of >10 000 have high power conversion efficiencies of >2.5% been reached. This behavior is caused by distinctly reduced charge carrier (hole) mobility in the donor phase of the devices built from lower M n P3HT samples. The reduced performance of such devices is related to a reduced intermolecular ordering (π-stacking) of the P3HT phase. These findings highlight the important role of the molecular weight in semicrystalline semiconducting polymers for the device performance and may help in the further development of novel, efficient, lower band gap donor polymers for photovoltaic applications.

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.
