The present invention relates to the field of solar cell technique, especially to a polymer solar cell and preparation method thereof.
In 1982, Weinberger et al. studied photovoltaic properties of polyacetylene and produced a first significant solar cell. However, it had an extremely low photoelectric conversion efficiency of 10−3%. Glenis et al. then produced various polythiophene solar cells, but a common problem was low open-circuit voltage and low photoelectric conversion efficiency. Until 1986, C. W. Tang et al. greatly increased photoelectric current by introducing p-type semiconductor and n-type semiconductor into a double layer solar cell for the first time. This is a landmark in the history of development of organic polymer solar cell.
A double layer polymer solar cell comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrole and a thin film having photic activity between them. The thin film is active layer. Normally, active layer has a heterogeneous structure consisting of donor (D) and acceptor (A). Main material of donor comprises CdSe, n-polymer, C60 and its derivative PCBM. A solar cell of PCBM could adopt indium tin oxide (ITO) and metal having relatively low work function as positive electrode and negative electrode, respectively. Active layer is generally obtained by mixing conjugated polymer with PCBM. In the case that the light travels through a transparent ITO and reaches conjugated polymer molecules, an exciton can form when photon energy is larger than bandgap of polymer. The exciton moves towards the interface of donoracceptor (D/A). The difference between D/A is larger than the binding energy of the exciton, which will lead to the separation of excitons at the interface. PCBM transports electrons to the negative electrode, whereas polymer transports holes to the positive electrode ITO, thus generating photoelectric current and photovoltage.
To increase power conversion efficiency, absorption of sunlight has been normally improved by the modification of structure of material of active layer. But this method has some drawbacks, such as high cost and time-consuming. Furthermore, when the sunlight reaches the active layer, only a small amount of the light can be absorbed and utilized. Most of the sunlight passes through the cell without being utilized. Therefore, an important way to improve utilization of sunlight and increase power conversion efficiency is to improve component or structure of polymer solar cell. However, little related research has been done and reported.
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing polymer solar cell. Anode of the polymer solar cell of the present invention is prepared by mixing poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) with zinc oxide (ZnO). Difference between anode and active layer in refractive index causes the sunlight passing through the active layer to be scattered and totally reflected, and then absorbed, thus improving utilization of the sunlight and increasing power conversion efficiency of polymer solar cell.

One important factor affecting power conversion efficiency of solar cell is utilization of sunlight. Currently, a common method for increasing the absorption of sunlight is to modify the structure of the material of active layer. The present invention improves absorption of sunlight by preparing anode using mixed materials, thus increasing power conversion efficiency of polymer solar cell. The anode of the polymer solar cell of the present invention is prepared by mixing poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) with zinc oxide (ZnO). PEDOT has a refractive index of about 1.5, whereas active layer of the present invention has a refractive index of about 1.7. Difference between anode and active layer in refractive index causes the sunlight passing through the active layer to be scattered and totally reflected, and then absorbed. The anode further contains zinc acetate particles, which have a large particle size and is able to scatter the light, thus improving utilization of the sunlight and increasing power conversion efficiency of polymer solar cell.
The present inventions providing polymer solar cell and preparation method thereof comprise the following benefits.
(1) In the polymer solar cell of the present invention, the light is totally reflected back to active layer and absorbed due to the difference of anode and active layer in refractive index. The anode further contains zinc acetate particles, which have a large particle size and is able to scatter the light, thus improving utilization of the light and increasing power conversion efficiency of polymer solar cell.
(2) ITO glass is usually used as an anode of polymer solar cell. However, indium element may permeate the glass, leading to a reduction of lifetime of polymer solar cell. Further, indium is a high cost rare element of a somewhat toxicity. Anode of the present invention is prepared by mixing poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and polystyrene sulfonate with zinc oxide. The present invention has an advantage of low cost and good stability.
(3) Anode of the polymer solar cell of the present invention has a high electrical conductivity (from PEDOT and Zn ions) and high injection efficiency (from PEDOT). The anode is able to act as a hole buffer layer and anode per se. Preparation of solar cell is greatly simplified by not preparing hole buffer layer and anode separately.
(4) Some oxidizable metals, such as Al and Ag, are usually used as material of cathode. The polymer solar cell of the present invention uses a reversed structure where an electronic buffer layer, an active layer and an anode are successively prepared on a cathode. This could prevent the cathode from being oxidized and facilitate improving the lifetime of a polymer solar cell and enable the product and method to have industrialized application prospects.
