| description | The development of solar cells based on composites of organic conjugated semi-conducting
polymers with fullerene derivatives can provide a new method in the exploitation of solar energy. Organic
solar cells must fulfill the criteria of stability, efficiency and reduction of production costs to find new
applications. Specially, the bulk donor-acceptor heterojunctions between conjugated polymers and fullerenes
have been successfully utilized for photovoltaic devices with high carrier collection efficiency compared
to the devices made from single components. In this work we present measurements of the photovoltaic
response of bulk donor-acceptor heterojunction between the conjugated polymer (as a donor, D) poly(3-
octylthiophene), P3OT and fullerenes, (as acceptor, A), deposited between indium tin oxide and aluminum
electrodes. These devices are based on ultrafast, reversible, metastable photoinduced electron transfer and
charge separation. |
