1 Introduction to Organic Solar Cells Dr Chris Fell Solar Group Leader CSIRO Energy Technology, Newcastle, Australia
2 Organic semiconductors Conductivity in polyacetylene 1970s Nobel Prize Alan J. Heeger Alan G. MacDiarmid Hideki Shirakawa Interacting P z orbitals create chain of delocalised electron density poly(phenylene vinylene) (PPV)
3 Why organic materials for solar cells? Room temperature Ambient pressure Solution-processing
4 Research activity in organic PV ISI - all databases Organic photovoltaics Organic solar cells Plastic photovoltaics Plastic solar cells
5 Progress in efficiency
6 CSIRO organic PV since 2005 Division of Energy Technology National Solar Energy Centre Newcastle Axial device design (cell structures) Lateral device design (modules) Division of Molecular and Health Technologies Melbourne Long record of achievements in materials chemistry
7 Measuring efficiency to IEC60904 CSIRO.
8 The single semiconductor device Al/Ca organic semiconductor ~100nm e h Metal back contact (cathode) Exciton (bound) ITO/PEDOT:PSS Transparent front contact (anode) cathode Al/Ca anode ITO/PEDOT:PSS c-si (300 m) organic solar cell (100nm)
9 Splitting excitons: The planar heterojunction anode donor acceptor cathode LUMO LUMO HOMO HOMO
10 Understanding open-circuit voltage Heterojunction voltage can go beyond flat-band 1. Bands prior to assembly 2. Assembled device (planar heterojunction) 3. Illuminated to flat-band voltage 4. Illuminated beyond flat-band voltage
11 The bulk heterojunction device Mix donor and acceptor into one blend Greatly increases interface area for exciton dissociation Nanomorphology now critical Choice of solvent Annealing Penalties in voltage and transport
12 Understanding photocurrent 1 3 1: Exciton generation : Exciton dissociation 3 3: Charge transport
13 1: Exciton generation (optical excitation) How much light is coupled into the active layer? Measure the optical properties of each layer, n( ) and ( ) Use Fresnel equations to model multi-layer interference Aluminium Active layer PEDOT:PSS ITO Glass Optical field Absorbed energy.
14 Photon accounting Metal cathode Active blend PEDOT:PSS ITO anode substrate ENERGY EXCITONS 38nm active layer 81nm active layer 252nm active layer
15 Internal quantum efficiency CALCULATION MEASUREMENT IQE decreases with thickness of active layer
16 2: Exciton dissociation Two-stage process Rapid dissociation to polaron pair Polaron pair separation efficiency FIELD DEPENDENT polaron pair Photocurrent is voltage-dependent!
17 3: Charge transport - hopping Space charge contribution to the electric field Transport equation for electrons energy Continuity equation for electrons field direction
18 Bi-molecular recombination Hopping transport Band-band (intrinsic) recombination rate not important Bi-molecular recombination rate dominated by the time it takes for carriers to meet Langevin-type recombination Higher mobility means greater recombination!
19 Opportunities to increase performance Improving absorption Narrow spectral bandwidth limits capture of AM1.5 Optimise band structure Adjusting heterojunction band offsets to minimise energy loss whilst still splitting exciton Improving mobility Higher mobility materials Interdigitated donor-acceptor designs for simpler carrier pathways Optimising optical interference Maximise light-trapping in the active layer Reducing exciton binding energy The biggest single obstacle to reaching the Shockley-Queisser limit
