A New Buffering Layer of Photovoltaic Solar Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a new buffering layer(nickle oxide thin film) of organic solar cells. Nickle Oxide(NiO) thin film is a good alternative of hole tansporting layer. We investigates the film from physical and electrical aspects, such as morphology, deposition temperature, thickness etc. We find that the optimum fabrication conditions are: room temperature deposition, 10nm of thickness, and 30% oxygen proportion. The device strcture is Anode/NiO/P3HT[regioregular of poly(3-hexylthiophene)]: PCBM[(6,6)-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester] /Al. And the best power conversion efficiency of device we got with NiO buffering layer is 2.49%, which is hundred times of ones without NiO buffering layer.
