Device annealing effect in organic solar cells with blends of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) and soluble fullerene
Open accessAbstract
Here we report enhanced efficiency bulk heterojunction organic solar cells using blend films of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl)-propyl-1-phenyl-(6,6)C61 (PCBM) that are subjected to a thermal annealing process. Blend films (P3HT:PCBM=1:1 by weight) were prepared using chlorobenzene and 1,2-dichlorobenzene in order to investigate the role of the solvent. Irrespective of the chosen solvent, the optimal device annealing temperature was found to be 140 °C. The highest power conversion efficiency, 3% under air mass 1.5 simulated solar illumination (100mW∕cm2), was achieved by device annealing at 140 °C for 15 min using blend films prepared from chlorobenzene (2.3% for 1,2-dichlorobenzene).

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.
