摘要
The bulk heterojunction (BHJ) material Si-PDTBT PC70BM is sensitive to the use of a small amount of 1 -chloronaphthalene (CN) as a processing additive. CN as a cosolvent (e g., 4% in chlorobenzene) causes in a factor of 2 increase in the power conversion efficiency of BHJ solar cells (1) The morphology of the BHJ material, prepared with and without the CN additive is studied with top-down transmission electron microscopy, cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy The improved performance is the result of changes in the nanoscale morphology Field-effect transistor measurements arc consistent with the observed changes in morphology
