摘要
Alkyl substituent length dependences of photovoltaic performance of bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs) utilizing 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octaalkylphthalocyanine (CnPcH(2)) mixed in [6,6]-phenyl C-71 butyric acid methyl ester have been studied. By shortening the alkyl substituents, stacking of the discotic CnPcH(2) columns is probably changed from 2D rectangular lattices to pseudohexagonal structures, and Davydov splitting at the Q-band of CnPcH(2) absorbance spectra decreases, which results in the higher hole mobility and the deeper highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels. As a result, the power conversion efficiencies of CnPcH(2)-based BHJ OSCs are improved from 0.3 to 3.7% by changing the alky substituent length. (C) 2013 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
