Abstract

We present results of scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) measurements of bulk heterojunction organic solar cells built from a ternary blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), and [2,3,12,13-tetracyano-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,5-di- tert -butylphenyl)porphyrinato]copper(II) (Cu(CN) 4 P) porphyrin. These results show evidence of solvent trapping due to porphyrin in the film. Upon annealing, submicrometer depressions are observed in the ternary blend films, corresponding to the evolution of solvent that is associated with the small porphyrin aggregates that phase segregate in the middle of the depressions. The areal density and size of the depressions change systematically with porphyrin concentration in the ternary blend. The relationship of the observed morphologies to the previously measured device performance is discussed.

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.
