Optimization of Mass Ratio Effect on Active Layer of P3HT And PCBM With Electron Blocking Layer of PANI and PEDOT: PSS Solar Cell Characteristics

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this contribution we are reporting the mass ratio effect on the active layer of P3HT and PCBM with the electron blocking layer of PANI and PEDOT: PSS organic solar cells.The constructed solar cell system's performance has been evaluated under a light intensity of 1000W/m².This study used poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6, 6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl esters (PCBM) as the active materials.P3HT serves as the donor, whereas PCBM functions as the acceptor.The ratios of PCBM to P3HT are 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1.P3HT: PCBM was combined using toluene solvents.Active layer of P3HT: PCBM of various mass ratios was performed while coating with different spin frequencies from 1000 to 2000rpm.PEDOT: PSS/PANI, the electron blocking layer (EBL), was created for 30 seconds at a constant speed of 2000 rpm.The thin film of PCBM: P3HT has been characterized using UV-Vi's spectroscopy and J-V characteristics under illumination.
