摘要
The power conversion efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells can be greatly enhanced by chemical doping to control the conductivity of the organic thin films. We demonstrate a nearly twofold improvement in the efficiency of planar heterojunction copper phthalocyanine/fullerene cells by n-doping the electron acceptor layer with decamethylcobaltocene in the vicinity of the fullerene/cathode interface. Doping improves the charge extraction efficiency and decreases the series resistance of the organic films, improving the current density and fill factor, respectively.
