摘要
Three dimensional conjugated polymers with pendant ionic ammoniums or polar amines and their linear analogues as cathode interfacial layers were used for organic photovoltaic cells based on blends of poly [(9,9-di-n-octyl-2,7-fluorene)-alt-(5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl)-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)] (PFOTBT) or poly(3-hexylthiophene) as the donor and [6,6]-phenyl-C-61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) as the acceptor. The alcohol soluble conjugated polymer interlayers can improve the device performance significantly by simultaneous enhancements of the open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, and fill factor. An increase of the power conversion efficiency from 2.62% to 4.67% by 78% was observed with poly[(2,7,2',7'-spirobifluorene-co-(9,9-bis (6'-((N,N,N-trimethyl)ammonium)hexyl)-2,7-fluorene) dibromide)] based on PFOTBT-PC61BM blend.
