Abstract

Solid-state heterojunction solar cells formed from binary blends of conjugated polymers and fullerenes provide a promising class of organic devices. We demonstrate that ternary blends incorporating porphyrins can be of similar morphology to the binary mixture and retain full device functionality. They allow, for the first time, the construction of efficient devices containing less than 10% polymer. By analyzing the absorption spectra as a function of concentration, we determine the proportion of light absorbed by each individual component in both binary and ternary mixtures. This analysis reveals that the majority of the light is absorbed by the fullerene in 1:4 polymer/C 60 -fullerene blends, with over 50% of the photocurrent produced under AM 1.5 conditions occurring subsequent to C 60 -fullerene absorption. This result provides for a consistent understanding of the origin of primary charge separation in general polymer/C 60 -fullerene blends, polymer/C 70 -fullerene blends, and polymer-fullerene dyad molecules. Porphyrins are demonstrated to add broad-band character to the device and may be used to tune for particular wavelengths; they also are shown to initiate primary charge separation through electron-transfer to the fullerene. Finally, addition of the porphyrin is shown to increase the internal quantum efficiency following polymer absorption from ca. 60 to 80%.

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.
