摘要：

The device performance of polymer solar cells with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles inserted as an electron injection layer between the poly(3-hexylthiopene) (P3HT):phenyl-C60-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) active layer and the Al electrode was studied. The polymer solar cell consists of molybdenum-oxide (MoO(3)) as a hole injection layer, P3HT:PCBM bulk heterojunction as an active layer, and ZnO NPs as an electron injection layer. The ZnO layer was formed from a precursor solution on the top part of the P3HT:PCBM film (1:0.8 weight ratio) via sol-gel spin-coating, and was annealed at a low temperature (150 degrees C). The crystallinity, the atomic ratio of Zn and 0, the absorption spectra, and the surface morphology of the ZnO thin films were studied. The device with a ZnO layer showed 9-11% higher J(SC) and 8-9% higher PCE compared to the devices without a ZnO layer. These improved device properties are attributed to the efficient electron extraction and the decreased reflectivity owing to the use of a ZnO layer.
