Abstract

The invention relates to a polymer solar cell. The polymer solar cell sequentially comprises a cathode layer, a cathode interface layer, a photosensitive layer, an anode interface layer and an anode layer, wherein the cathode interface layer is an inorganic semiconductor nanocrystalline-conjugated polymer composite material layer. The cathode interface layer is specifically a ZnO-PFEP (phosphate ester polyfluorene) composite material layer. According to the polymer solar cell, the ZnO-PFEP composite cathode interface layer is arranged between the cathode layer and the photosensitive layer, and the mass ratio of ZnO to PFEP in the interface layer is controlled, so that the electrical conductivity of the cathode interface layer can be effectively increased, the bulk resistance of the cathode interface layer is reduced, the electron output resistance is decreased, furthermore, the short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, fill factor and energy conversion efficiency of the cell are improved, and the electron transportation and collection are benefited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a polymer solar cell. Background technique [0002] Polymer solar cells have the advantages of low cost, good flexibility, light weight, and large-area processing, and have become a research hotspot in this field in recent years. Bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells can effectively improve the energy conversion efficiency of the cell due to the increase of the contact area between the electron donor and the electron acceptor. Traditional bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells generally use a positive sandwich structure, that is, high work function indium tin oxide (ITO) as the anode, low work function metal aluminum (Al) as the cathode, composed of polymer and fullerene A photosensitive layer formed from a blend of alkenes is sandwiched between the anode and cathode. In order to form an ohmic contact at the interface between the anode and the cathode, improve the collec...
