Effect of the Temperature of Annealing on the Performance of Fluorene and Bithiophene Copolymer in Bilayer Solar Cells

摘要

We have investigated the effect of temperature annealing on bilayer heterojunction solar cells based on poly[9,9'-hexyl-fluorene-alt-bithiophene] as active layer. Film morphology for different temperature annealing was probed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the values of roughness range from 0.59 up to 2.15 nm. The best photovoltaic performance was found for devices with active layer annealed at 200℃ with power conversion efficiency (η) of 2.8 % while devices without annealing presented only 0.4%. This performance enhancement is attributed to the reduction of traps and increased hole mobility after the thermal annealing.
