A comparative study on the influence of alkyl thiols on the structural transformations in P3HT/PCBM and P3OT/PCBM blends

Herein, we present a comparative study on the structural transformations in P3HT/PCBM and P3OT/PCBM blends using octane (C₈) and dodecane (C₁₂) thiols as solvent additives. Addition of dodecane thiol to the blends promotes needle-like PCBM crystal formation. These crystals are found abundant in P3OT/PCBM and less in P3HT/PCBM blend and are identified by SAXS, DSC and SEM measurements. Using polymer of two different tail lengths, the SAXS results provide the first experimental support on the recent findings on fullerene intercalation around the crystalline boundaries in a semi-crystalline polymer. The UV–Visible measurements reveal that the absorption maximum show an appreciable red-shift and photoluminescence spectra infers that the donor/acceptor interface is mostly retained, upon dodecane thiol addition. These needle-like PCBM crystals obtained by annealing free approach in the blends and their dependence on the alkyl tail length of the polymer, would pave way for more effective design of organic photovoltaic devices.     

Ultrafast Dynamics of Localized and Delocalized Polaron Transitions in P3HT/PCBM Blend Materials: The Effects of PCBM Concentration

Nowadays, organic solar cells have the interest of engineers for manufacturing flexible and low cost devices. The considerable progress of this nanotechnology area presents the possibility of investigating new effects from a fundamental science point of view. In this letter we highlight the influence of the concentration of fullerene molecules on the ultrafast transport properties of charged electrons and polarons in P3HT/PCBM blended materials which are crucial for the development of organic solar cells. Especially, we report on the femtosecond dynamics of localized (P₂ at 1.45 eV) and delocalized (DP₂ at 1.76 eV) polaron states of P3HT matrix with the addition of fullerene molecules as well as the free-electron relaxation dynamics of PCBM-related states. Our study shows that as PCBM concentration increases, the amplified exciton dissociation at bulk heterojunctions leads to increased polaron lifetimes. However, the increase in PCBM concentration can be directly related to the localization of polarons, creating thus two competing trends within the material. Our methodology shows that the effect of changes in structure and/or composition can be monitored at the fundamental level toward optimization of device efficiency.

P3HT : PCBM solar cells—The choice of source material

Bulk heterojunction solar cells based on P3HT : PCBM blend films are among the most intensively studied polymer solar cells. In spite of that, there is a huge variation of reported efficiencies in the literature, even for same device architectures and film preparation procedures. Here we investigated the influence of starting properties of P3HT and PCBM (different suppliers) on blend film morphology and device performance. We found that there was a strong dependence of the film morphology and device performance on the source of chemicals used. Both P3HT and PCBM affected the results, and higher nominal purity did not necessarily result in better device performance. The dependence of the film morphology and device performance on the properties of P3HT and PCBM is discussed in detail. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014 , 131, 39776.     

Exciton diffusion and charge transfer dynamics in nano phase-separated P3HT/PCBM blend films

Exciton quenching dynamics has been systematically studied in pristine P3HT and nano phase separated P3HT/PCBM blend films under various excitation intensities by femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion technique. The behaviors of excitons in the films can be well described by a three-dimensional diffusion model. The small diffusion length and large charge transfer radius indicate that excitons reach the interface most likely by the delocalization of the excitons in P3HT fibrillar at a range of 4.8-9 nm so that the excitons can quickly delocalize in the P3HT domain to reach the interface (instead of by diffusion).

Improving the efficiency of ITO/nc-TiO2/CdS/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/Ag inverted solar cells by sensitizing TiO2 nanocrystalline film with chemical bath-deposited CdS quantum dots

An improvement in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the inverted organic solar cell (ITO/nc-TiO₂/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/Ag) is realized by depositing CdS quantum dots (QDs) on a nanocrystalline TiO₂ (nc-TiO₂) film as a light absorption material and an electron-selective material. The CdS QDs were deposited via a chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. Our results show that the best PCE of 3.37% for the ITO/nc-TiO₂/CdS/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/Ag cell is about 1.13 times that (2.98%) of the cell without CdS QDs (i.e., ITO/nc-TiO₂/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/Ag). The improved PCE can be mainly attributed to the increased light absorption and the reduced recombination of charge carriers from the TiO₂ to the P3HT:PCBM film due to the introduced CdS QDs.     

Fabrication of highly ordered P3HT:PCBM nanostructures and its application as a supercapacitive electrode

In this paper, we successfully demonstrated the fabrication of highly ordered and large-scale P3HT:PCBM nanowires via a slow-drying method, which allows for the convenient and cost-effective preparation of well-defined P3HT:PCBM nanostructures with large domains. The formation of the organic nanowires can be explained by the self-organization of polymer chains under favorable thermodynamic conditions in the slow-drying process. Furthermore, the C-V measurements revealed that the P3HT:PCBM nanowires possess high capacitance. This supercapacitive behavior of the nanowires is related to their large surface area and open structure, which can facilitate ion transport and accumulation. Owing to their extremely easy preparation and excellent capacitance performance, the P3HT:PCBM nanowires offer a promising electrode material for supercapacitor devices.     

A new method to disperse CdS quantum dot-sensitized TiO2 nanotube arrays into P3HT:PCBM layer for the improvement of efficiency of inverted polymer solar cells

We report that the efficiency of ITO/nc-TiO₂/P3HT:PCBM/MoO₃/Ag inverted polymer solar cells (PSCs) can be improved by dispersing CdS quantum dot (QD)-sensitized TiO₂ nanotube arrays (TNTs) in poly (3-hexylthiophene) and [6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) layer. The CdS QDs are deposited on the TNTs by a chemical bath deposition method. The experimental results show that the CdS QD-sensitized TNTs (CdS/TNTs) do not only increase the light absorption of the P3HT:PCBM layer but also reduce the charge recombination in the P3HT:PCBM layer. The dependence of device performances on cycles of CdS deposition on the TNTs was investigated. A high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.52% was achieved for the inverted PSCs with 20 cyclic depositions of CdS on TNTs, which showed a 34% increase compared to the ITO/nc-TiO₂/P3HT:PCBM/MoO₃/Ag device without the CdS/TNTs. The improved efficiency is attributed to the improved light absorbance and the reduced charge recombination in the active layer.     

Improved stability in P3HT:PCBM photovoltaics by incorporation of well‐designed polythiophene/graphene compositions

Morphological and photovoltaic stabilities of poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT):phenyl‐C₆₁‐butyric acid methyl ester (PC₇₁BM) solar cells were investigated in pristine and modified states. To this end, four types of patterned/assembled nanostructures, namely reduced graphene oxide (rGO)‐g‐poly(3‐dodecylthiophene)/P3HT patched‐like pattern, rGO–polythiophene/P3HT/PC₇₁BM nanofiber, rGO‐g‐P3HT/P3HT cake‐like pattern and supra(polyaniline (PANI)‐g‐rGO/P3HT), were designed on the basis of rGO and various conjugated polymers. Intermediately covered rGO nanosheets by P3HT crystals (supra(PANI‐g‐rGO/P3HT)) performed better than sparsely (patched‐like pattern) and fully (cake‐like pattern) covered ones in P3HT:PC₇₁BM solar cell systems. Supra(PANI‐g‐rGO/P3HT) nanohybrids largely phase‐separated in active layers (root mean square = 0.88 nm) and also led to the highest performance (power conversion efficiency of 5.74%). The photovoltaic characteristics demonstrated decreasing trends during air aging for all devices, but with distinct slopes. The steepest decreasing plots were obtained for the unmodified P3HT:PC₇₁BM devices (from 1.77% to 0.28%). The two supramolecules with the most ordered structures, that is, cake‐like pattern (10.12 mA cm^?2, 51%, 0.58 V, 2.2 × 10^?6 cm² V^?1 s^?1, 4.3 × 10^?5 cm² V^?1 s^?1, 0.69 nm and 2.99%) and supra(PANI‐g‐rGO/P3HT) (12.51 mA cm^?2, 57%, 0.63 V, 1.2 × 10^?5 cm² V^?1 s^?1, 3.4 × 10^?4 cm² V^?1 s^?1, 0.82 nm and 4.49%), strongly retained morphological and photovoltaic stabilities in P3HT:PC₇₁BM devices after 1 month of air aging. According to the morphological, optical, photovoltaic and electrochemical results, the supra(PANI‐g‐rGO/P3HT) nanohybrid was the best candidate for stabilizing P3HT:PC₇₁BM solar cells. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

Preparation and Characterization of Nanostructured TiO2/Epoxy Polymeric Films

Summary: Titania‐containing coatings were prepared by cationic photopolymerization of an epoxy resin either by dispersion of preformed TiO₂ nanoparticles or by their in‐situ generation through a sol‐gel dual‐cure process. The kinetics of photopolymerization was evaluated by real‐time FT‐IR, studying the effect of the TiO₂ concentration. The properties of cured films were investigated, showing an increase of hydrophilicity on the surface of the coatings with increasing TiO₂ content. TEM analysis demonstrated that it is possible to achieve a significantly better control of the dispersion of the inorganic particles within the organic matrix by in‐situ generation of TiO₂, thus completely avoiding macroscopic phase separation and obtaining homogeneous, transparent coatings.
