Problems solved by technology

Adding the third component to the binary blend film will easily cause damage to the original good morphology and affect the generation and transmission of photogenerated charges, thus limiting the increase in short-circuit current density and efficiency of the battery
On the other hand, in order to broaden the range of light absorption, the third component in the ternary battery must be an electron donor or acceptor with a narrower band gap than the original binary material system, such as a material that absorbs strongly in the near-infrared region. The narrowing of the gap means that the HOMO energy level of the material increases and (or) the LUMO energy level decreases, so it is easy to cause a significant decrease in the open circuit voltage of the battery, which also limits the improvement of the efficiency of the ternary battery.
Therefore, how to greatly increase the short-circuit current density in ternary organic solar cells while maintaining a high open-circuit voltage is a big challenge.

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-efficiency ternary organic solar cell which comprises a substrate, a cathode, a cathode modification layer, an active layer, an anode modification layer and an anode. The active layer includes a blend film of a polymer electron donor PBDB-T and two types of micro-molecular electron acceptors HF-PCIC and IEICO-4F. The morphology of the active layer is optimized via complementary absorption of the PBDB-T, HF-PCIC and IEICO-4F, especially IEICO-4F. The prepared ternary organic solar cell realizes excellent photoelectric response in the wide spectrum range of 300-1000nm, and compared with a binary organic solar cell based on PBDB-T:HF-PCIC, the short-circuit current density is improved by 7.2MA/cm2, and the highest power conversion efficiency PCE reaches 11.2% which is 8.82% higher than that of the binary cell. In addition, the ternary organic solar cell has a very low energy loss (0.59eV), so that the cell has a higher open-circuit voltage.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to solar cells, in particular to a high-efficiency ternary organic solar cell. Background technique [0002] The active layer of traditional organic solar cells is a binary blend film composed of an electron donor and an electron acceptor (binary organic solar cells). However, due to the discontinuous energy level structure of organic electron donors and electron acceptors, it is difficult for binary blend films to obtain a wide and strong spectral absorption range, which limits the solar absorption and utilization of cells, and the short-circuit current density cannot Comparable to inorganic solar cells with continuous energy level structures (energy bands) such as monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon solar cells. To this end, people add a third component (either an electron donor or an electron acceptor) that is complementary to the absorption of the original binary blend film into the binary organic solar cell, ...
