文摘

Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells using a medium-bandgap phosphorescent material of bis(1,2-dipheny1-1H-benzoimidazole) iridium (acetylacetonate) [(pbi)₂Ir(acac)] as an electron-donating layer were fabricated. An S-shaped kink was observed in the current鈥搗oltage curves with the increase in (pbi)₂Ir(acac) thickness. Two ways of using different hole transport layers to reduce interfacial energy step and doping to improve charge carrier mobility were used to investigate the origin of the kink. The results showed that this anomalous feature is due to the presence of large interfacial energy step between the anode/donor-interface and the low hole mobility of (pbi)₂Ir(acac). An improved power conversion efficiency of 2.23% under AM 1.5 solar illumination at an intensity of 100 mW/cm² was obtained using N,N鈥?bis-(1-naphthyl)-N,N鈥?diphenyl-1,1鈥?biphenyl-4,4鈥?diamine to minimize the energy barrier for charge injection.
