摘要
A new concept to stabilize the morphology of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [ 6,6]-phenyl-C-61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blend through H-bond formation by using a hydroxyl group end-functionalized P3HT (HOC-P3HT-COH) as a compatibilizer is presented. Domain size of the PCBM crystals in the annealed P3HT/PCBM film is diminished with addition of HOC-P3HT-COH. Surface roughness of the P3HT/PCBM film also becomes smoother with addition of HOC-P3HT-COH. Thermal stability of solar cell device is improved significantly through the H-bond formation between HOC-P3HT-COH and PCBM. A high performance and thermal stable polymer solar cell with 4.06% power conversion efficiency under AM1.5G irradiation is fabricated with 5% HOC-P3HT-COH in P3HT/PCBM layer. (C) 2011 Elsevier B. V.
