SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2308863. [PMID: 38287727 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202308863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2024]
Abstract
Ternary organic solar cells (T-OSCs) have attracted significant attention as high-performance devices. In recent years, T-OSCs have achieved remarkable progress with power conversion efficiency (PCE) exceeding 19%. However, the introduction of the third component complicates the intermolecular interaction compared to the binary blend, resulting in poor controllability of active layer and limiting performance improvement. To address these issues, dual-functional third components have been developed that not only broaden the spectral range but also optimize morphology. In this review, the effect of the third component on expanding the absorption range of T-OSCs is first discussed. Second, the extra functions of the third component are introduced, including adjusting the crystallinity and molecular stack in active layer, regulating phase separation and purity, altering molecular orientation of the donor or acceptor. Finally, a summary of the current research progress is provided, followed by a discussion of future research directions.

Abstract
Inverted-type organic solar cells, fabricated with low-temperature-processed combination layers of hybrid electron-collecting buffer layers (ECBLs) consisting of zinc oxide (ZnO) and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOz) and additional PEOz interlayers, showed improved performance and stability. The ZnO : PEOz precursor films with various PEOz compositions (0-12 wt %) were prepared and thermally treated at 100 °C, leading to the ECBLs on which the PEOz interlayers were subsequently deposited before coating of polymer : nonfullerene bulk heterojunction layers. Results showed that the power conversion efficiency of solar cells reached approximately 9.38 and 10.11 % (average) in case of the ZnO/PEOz and ZnO : PEOz(6 wt % PEOz)/PEOz combination layers, respectively, despite the low-temperature thermal annealing process. A continuous irradiation test for 12 h under one sun condition (air mass 1.5G, 100 mW cm-2 ) disclosed that the devices with the ZnO : PEOz(6 wt % PEOz)/PEOz combination layers were more stable than those with the ZnO/PEOz layers.

Synergistic effect of carotenoid and silicone-based additives for photooxidatively stable organic solar cells with enhanced elasticity. JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY. C 2021; 35:10.1039/D1TC01544C.

Abstract
Photochemical and mechanical stability are critical in the production and application of organic solar cells. While these factors can individually be improved using different additives, there is no example of studies on the combined effects of such additive-assisted stabilization. In this study, the properties of PTB7:[70]PCBM organic solar cells are studied upon implementation of two additives: the carotenoid astaxanthin (AX) for photochemical stability and the silicone polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for improved mechanical properties. A newly designed additive, AXcPDMS, based on astaxanthin covalently bonded to PDMS was also examined. Lifetime tests, produced in ISOS-L-2 conditions, reveal an improvement in the accumulated power generation (APG) of 10% with pure AX, of 90% when AX is paired with PDMS, and of 140% when AXcPDMS is added in the active layer blend, as compared to the control devices. Singlet oxygen phosphorescence measurements are utilized to study the ability of AX and AXcPDMS to quench singlet oxygen and its precursors in the films. The data are consistent with the strong stabilization effect of the carotenoids. While AX and AXcPDMS are both efficient photochemical stabilizers, the improvement in device stability observed in the presence of AXcPDMS is likely due to a more favorable localization of the stabilizer within the blend. The mechanical properties of the active layers were investigated by tensile testing and cohesive fracture measurements, showing a joint improvement of the photooxidative stability and the mechanical properties, thus yielding organic solar cell devices that are promising for flexible photovoltaic applications.
