Title C60:LiF Hole Blocking Layer for Bulk-heterojunction Solar Cells

Excerpt A standard procedure for P3HT:PCBM bulk-heterojunction solar cells has been developed. Fabrication conditions, such as environment; solution concentration, thickness of active layer or post-treatment methods are systematically optimized. The best device performance is obtained by slow-drying spin-coated P3HT:PCBM (1:0.8) blend layer with DCB as solvent. C60:LiF composite films with up to 80% LiF concentration as […]
