Device performance was found to improve with increasing polymer content in the solution. Devices with 1:3 TIPS-Pentacene:polystyrene blend outperformed the other counterparts with high performance, and demonstrated least performance variation with regular 100 transfer measurement cycles. In addition, 1:3 blend devices have shown the least normalized drain current decay of $sim$ 8.5 % with the bias stress condition of VDS = VGS = -30 V for 2 h, as compared to the 1:1, 3:1 and neat devices with the decay of 15 %, 37 % and 71 % respectively. Additionally, a better recovery of electrical characteristics was observed in blend devices with larger polymer fractions from the deteriorating effects of gate bias stress.","PeriodicalId":6590,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"114 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76681010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, effect of inserting the additional polymer layer between the hole transporting layer (HTL) and blended polymer: fullerene photoactive layer in conventional organic solar cell (OSC) has been demonstrated. The poly 3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) buffer layer inserted between HTL and P3HT:PCBM offers pure donor phase at the HTL interface which ultimately reduces the effect of vertical phase separation in conventional OSC. The experimental results shows that proposed buffered layer architecture has shown the improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OSC by $sim$35% over the conventional OSC structure. This improvement are mainly due to increase in photon absorption and improved charge collection at the HTL interface. In addition to this, the annealing dependent study on proposed buffered layer OSCs and conventional OSCs has been carried out. It has been found that annealing the active layer for longer duration has substantially reduced the PCE of the both the OSC architecture. The reason for this drop in PCE is mainly because of increase in donor-acceptor phase segregation and vertical phase separation in P3HT:PCBM. Although, in comparison to the conventional OSCs the PCE of proposed buffered layer OSCs has not plunges drastically which indicates the reduced impact of vertical phase separation in case of novel buffer layer architecture.","PeriodicalId":6590,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"92 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76370287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using plasmonic metal nanoparticle is one of the well-known method to improve the solar cell performance. In this work, poly-dispersed aluminium nanoparticles (AlNPs) were embedded at the PC61BM/Al interface to investigate the effect of it on solar cell performance. It is observed that device with AlNPs at the PC61BM/Al interface showed significant enhancement in optical absorption and as a result improved JSC. It is observed that Al nanoparticles at cathode interface aids in light trapping and also reduction in series resistance. These coupled effects of optical and electrical enhancement tend to improve power conversion efficiency in the device. From this study, it is noted that addition of AlNPs modifies deep trap state distribution in the active matrix. Further, this study shows that AlNPs incorporation with ETL improves the device power conversion efficiency (PCE) mainly through the optical enhancement.","PeriodicalId":6590,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"33 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74541531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
