Problems solved by technology

Organic substances generally show very few absorption characteristics that conform to the solar spectrum, and many organic substances have low carrier mobility, and most of them cannot achieve high conversion efficiency
In addition, since the organic thin film solar cell is an all-solid-state device, it will be affected by the film properties of the organic thin film
In addition, there is the issue of being affected by the molecules of the material forming the organic thin film
[0011] Patent Document 1 discloses an organic co-deposited film of phthalocyanines and peryleneimides. However, due to their sublimation characteristics, it is extremely difficult to control the film-forming speed during vacuum deposition of phthalocyanines and peryleneimides. Problems with a high probability of short circuits
In addition, in addition to the need for a high degree of film formation control, phthalocyanines have a high vapor deposition temperature and require a large amount of energy for device production.

Embodiment 1

[0112] A 25mm×75mm×0.7mm thick glass substrate with an ITO transparent electrode (the transmittance is more than 60% for light with a wavelength of 300-800nm) is ultrasonically cleaned in isopropanol for 5 minutes, and then implemented for 30 minutes UV ozone cleaning. Install the cleaned glass substrate with transparent electrode lines on the substrate holder of the vacuum evaporation device, on the surface of the side where the transparent electrode lines as the lower electrodes are formed, vapor-deposit compound 1 by resistance heating to cover the transparent electrode lines. by way of electrodes Film formation was performed to form a p-layer with a film thickness of 30 nm. Then, resistive heating evaporated fullerene (C 60 ),by For film formation, an n layer with a film thickness of 60 nm was formed on the p layer. BCP was vapor-deposited by resistance heating to form a buffer layer with a film thickness of 10 nm on the n layer, and then metal Al was vapor-deposited...

[0122] Organic solar cells were fabricated and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1, except that an organic compound shown in Table 1 was used instead of Compound 1 to form a p layer and an organic layer was formed at a composition ratio shown in Table 1. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0124] [Table 1]

[0125]

[0126] It can be clearly seen from Table 1 that the conversion efficiency changes greatly when ΔAf is 0.5eV and 2eV as the boundary, and in the region of 0.5<ΔAf<2.0eV, the organic thin film solar cell has high conversion efficiency.

[0128] Except for using the compounds shown in Table 2 instead of Compound 1, the p-layer was formed at the vapor deposition temperature shown in Table 2, and the area was set to 0.5 cm 2 Except for this, ten organic thin-film solar cells were produced in the same manner as in Example 1.

[0129] Under AM1.5 conditions (incident intensity (Pin) is 100mW / cm 2 ) I-V characteristics were measured for the fabricated 10 organic thin film solar cells. The I-V characteristic curve of the organic thin film solar cell obtained in its result is for example such as image 3 The case shown with a linear characteristic passing through the origin is defined as a short circuit of the organic thin film solar cell. The results are shown in Table 2.

Abstract

Disclosed is an organic thin-film solar cell which has a pair of electrodes and at least one organic layer composed of at least two organic compounds sandwiched between the pair of electrodes. The difference ([Delta]Af) in the affinity level of the two main organic compounds from the at least two organic compounds mentioned above satisfies the following equation (a). 0.5 eV < [Delta]Af < 2.0 eV (a).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an organic thin film solar cell. Background technique [0002] Organic thin-film solar cells, such as light-emitting diodes or imaging elements that convert light signals into electrical signals, and solar cells that convert light energy into electrical energy, are devices that exhibit electrical output relative to light input. Devices where electrical input shows light output and electroluminescent (EL) elements show the opposite response. In particular, solar cells have been attracting great attention as clean energy in recent years against the backdrop of the depletion of fossil fuels and the problem of global warming, and research and development has been actively carried out. [0003] In the past, silicon-based solar cells represented by single crystal Si, polycrystalline Si, and amorphous Si have been put into practical use. However, due to the high price and the shortage of raw material Si, etc. requirements are consta...
