Enhancement of photoconversion efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells exploiting pulsed laser deposited niobium pentoxide blocking layers

2015

Abstract Among all the photovoltaic technologies developed so far, dye-sensitized solar cells are considered as a promising alternative to the expensive and environmentally unfriendly crystalline silicon-based solar cells. One of the possible strategies employed to increase their photovoltaic efficiency is to reduce the charge recombination at the cell conductive substrate through the use of a compact blocking layer. In this paper, we report on the fabrication and characterization of dye-sensitized solar cells employing niobium pentoxide (Nb 2 O 5 ) thin film blocking layer deposited through the pulsed laser deposition technique on conductive substrates. The careful selection of the optimal…

Solution processed organic light-emitting diodes using a triazatruxene crosslinkable hole transporting material.

2018

A cross-linkable triazatruxene that leads to insoluble films upon thermal annealing at temperatures compatible with flexible substrates is presented. The films were used as the hole transporting and electron blocking layer in partially solution processed phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes, reaching power conversion efficiencies of 24 lm W−1, an almost 50% improvement compared to the same OLEDs without the cross-linkable hole transporting layer.

Fabrication and characterization of Donor/Acceptor heterojunction organic solar cells

2018

Results of initial development of organic solar cells having the Donor/Acceptor heterojunction structure with and without an exciton blocking layer are reported. Characterization is carried out in AM1.0 condition with 100 mW/cm2 incident optical power density. The best device has the exciton blocking layer and exhibits an open circuit voltage VOC = 0.43 V, a short circuit current density JSC = 2.35 mA/cm2 with a fill factor FF ≈ 50%, an external quantum efficiency (electrons/s over incident photons/s) EQE ≈ 5% and a power conversion efficiency of about 0.5%.
