摘要
The transparent electron transport material NTCDA (1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride) was examined in order to find a suitable substitute for C-60 which is today often used in small molecular organic solar cells as transport layer. Due to its wide band gap, NTCDA does not absorb in the visible range and is furthermore exciton blocking. By doping with AOB (acridine orange base), its conductivity was raised to about 1.10(-4)S/cm. It can therefore simultaneously be used as electron transport material and optical spacer in p-i-n type solar cells, leading to power conversion efficiencies of tip to 2.83%. Additionally, an investigation of the surface morphology using AFM was performed.
