Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced power-conversion efficiency in polymer solar cells using an inverted device structure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that PFN can be incorporated into polymer light-emitting devices (PLEDs) to enhance electron injection from high-work-function metals such as aluminium (work function w of 4.3 eV) and gold (w ¼ 5.2 eV).
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-Junction Organic Solar Cell with over 15% Efficiency Using Fused-Ring Acceptor with Electron-Deficient Core
Jun Yuan,Yunqiang Zhang,Liuyang Zhou,Liuyang Zhou,Guichuan Zhang,Hin-Lap Yip,Tsz-Ki Lau,Xinhui Lu,Can Zhu,Can Zhu,Hongjian Peng,Paul A. Johnson,Mario Leclerc,Yong Cao,Jacek Ulanski,Yongfang Li,Yingping Zou +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a ladder-type electron-deficient core-based central fused ring (Dithienothiophen[3.2-b]- pyrrolobenzothiadiazole) with a benzothiadiadiazoles (BT) core was proposed to fine-tune its absorption and electron affinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic and solution-processed tandem solar cells with 17.3% efficiency
Lingxian Meng,Yamin Zhang,Xiangjian Wan,Chenxi Li,Xin Zhang,Yanbo Wang,Xin Ke,Zuo Xiao,Liming Ding,Ruoxi Xia,Hin-Lap Yip,Yong Cao,Yongsheng Chen +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical model analysis and using the tandem cell strategy to overcome the low charge mobility of organic materials, leading to a limit on the active-layer thickness and efficient light absorption was performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous Enhancement of Open-Circuit Voltage, Short-Circuit Current Density, and Fill Factor in Polymer Solar Cells
Zhicai He,Chengmei Zhong,Xun Huang,Wai Yeung Wong,Hongbin Wu,Liwei Chen,Shi-Jian Su,Yong Cao +7 more
TL;DR: Simultaneous enhancement of open-circuit voltage, short-circuits current density, and fill factor in highly efficient polymer solar cells by incorporating an alcohol/water-soluble conjugated polymer as cathode interlayer is domonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-junction polymer solar cells with high efficiency and photovoltage
Zhicai He,Biao Xiao,Feng Liu,Hongbin Wu,Yali Yang,Steven Xiao,Cheng Wang,Thomas P. Russell,Yong Cao +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a photoactive layer made from a newly developed semiconducting polymer with a deepened valence energy level is used to reduce the tail state density below the conduction band of the electron acceptor.
