摘要
Inverted polymer solar cells (iPSCs) have shown a great potential in organic photovoltaics due to its enhanced stability and large-scale roll-to-roll processing. Metallated conjugated polymers also show promise as a donor material in the PSCs. In this paper, the role of solvents on the performance of inverted structure metallated PSCs was understood. Chlorobenzene (CB) and toluene were used as solvents to obtain the optimum morphology for improved device efficiency. To understand the charge transport properties and charge carrier lifetime in metallated polymer iPSCs, atomic force microscopy and transient photocurrent measurements were performed. The results showed that the CB as a solvent can improve the morphology of the active layer and enhance the performance of metallated iPSCs.
