Organic Optoelectronics and Photonics II. p. 19225-19225. | Series/Report: | PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY OF PHOTO-OPTICAL INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEERS (SPIE) | Series/Report no.: | 6192 | Abstract: | This paper investigates the thermal stability of organic bulk heterojunction solar cells, with a special focus on the thermal ageing of both photovoltaic parameters and morphology of the active layer. The photovoltaic parameters of a set of bulk heterojunction solar cells were determined by IV-characterization and their bulk morphology was investigated with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A link could be made between the degradation of the short circuit current under a thermal treatment and the corresponding change in bulk morphology. A possible improvement of the thermal stability of bulk heterojunction solar cells is presented through the use of a polymer with higher glass transition temperature. | Keywords: | organic solar cells, stability, thermal ageing, morphology | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/9662 | ISBN: | 9780819462480 | DOI: | 10.1117/12.663156 | ISI #: | 000238893000051 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
