Performance of organic solar cells with a ferroelectric component — •Krzysztof Kachel, Matthias Richter, Shine Philip, Ioanna Paloumpa, Klaus Mueller, and Dieter Schmeisser — Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus, Angewandte Physik-Sensorik, 03046 Cottbus, Germany
Charge dissociation and recombination are important factors for the efficiency of organic solar cells, even in blended systems of different polymers. As a new approach, the influence of additional blended ferroelectric nanoparticles on the solar cell performance is investigated. The ferroelectric dipole of the nanoparticle causes a local field, which could lead to a longer recombination time of the polaron pairs. As solar cell system we use bulk heterojunction cells or bilayer structures based on regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as the donor and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as the acceptor molecule. As ferroelectric additive we use the ferroelectric copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) or BaTiO3. The copolymer is spincoated as ultrathin film of 20nm, whereas the BaTiO3 is incorporated as nanodispersion into the donor-acceptor blend. We present the solar cell parameters for the different geometries and ferroelectric materials as a function of ferroelectric content and of the alignment of the ferroelectric dipoles after application of an external electric field.
