General description

The performance of indene-C60 bisadduct (ICBA) as organic solar cell (OSC) has been described in a study. Simple preparation and high solubility in organic solvents renders ICBA as an efficient substitute to [6,6]-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM).

Application

A ternary bulk heterojunction system (BHJ) may be fabricated with ICBA/ low band gap polymer, for IR sensitized organic solar cells. 1-3ICBA/thiazolo-thiazolo donor polymer blend may be used to enhance the charge generation in BHJ solar cells.
The addition of substituents to a fullerene cage and chemical characterization of the indene-C60 multiadduct gives rise to a reduction of the electron affi nity of the acceptor; resulting in a signifi cant increase in the V oc of devices incorporating these derivatives as the electron acceptor.
Solar Cell (OPV) Device Performance:
ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:ICBA(1.5:1)/LiF/Al
  • Short-circuit current density (Jsc): 10.53 mA/cm2
  • Open-circuit voltage (Voc): 0.83 V
  • Fill Factor (FF): 0.60
  • Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE): 5.26 %
