제목 Photovoltaic Efficiency Enhancement by the Generation of Embedded Silica Passivation Layer along the P3HT/PCBM Interface Using an Asymmetric Block Copolymer Additive
초록 We report a novel concept enabling the generation of an embedded passivation layer along the 3-dimensionally intertwined interfaces between the nanoscopic domains of P3HT and PCBM in the polymer bulk hetero-junction solar cells. We used an asymmetric block copolymer of a P3HT block and a short tail. The tail blocks are segregated in the interfacial region of nanoscopic donor/acceptor domains and thermally transformed to a layer containing silica-like residues of sub-nanometer thickness. The additional interfacial thin layer generated in this way was shown to act perfectly as a block layer effectively depressing the recombination of charge carriers, affording 50~100 % enhancement of the power conversion efficiency over he devices without the copolymer.
