摘要：
We investigated the role of a functional solid additive, 2,3-dihydroxypyridine (DHP), in influencing the optoelectronic, morphological, structural and photovoltaic properties of bulk-heterojunction-based polymer solar cells (BHJ PSCs) fabricated using poly(3-hexylthiophene): indene-C-60 bisadduct (P3HT:IC(60)BA) photoactive medium. A dramatic increase in the power conversion efficiency (similar to 20%) was witnessed for the BHJ PSCs treated with DHP compared to the pristine devices. A plausible explanation describing the alignment of pyridine moieties of DHP with the indene side groups of IC(60)BA is presented with a view to improving the performance of the BHJ PSCs via improved crystalline order and hydrophobicity changes.
