Fabrication and Characterization of Fullerene / Dibenzo-Tetrathiafulvalene Solar Cells

Abstract:

Fabrication and characterization of fullerene (C₆₀) / dibenzotetrathiafulvalene (DBTTF) solar cells were carried out. Photovoltaic and optical properties of the organic solar cells were investigated. Transmission electron microscopy, x-ray and electron diffraction confirmed that the bulk heterojunction thin films had microstructure of C₆₀crystal phase in DBTTF amorphous phase. The photovoltaic performance of the bulk heterojunction solar cell would be originated in the extent of electron diffusion across interface around the microstructure. Photovoltaic mechanism was discussed on the basis of experimental results.
