摘要
Recently, while increasing research has been focused toward improving the efficiency of various photovoltaic devices under low light intensities, few studies have reported on multi-donor-, multi-acceptor-based bulk heterojunctions (BHJ). In this study, we have demonstrated the utilization of a quaternary BHJ for indoor light energy harvesting applications. We utilized a PCDTBT:PTB7:PC61BM:PC71BM-based BHJ structure in order to improve the morphology, absorption window, and the charge transport properties of the photovoltaic device. The ability of ternary photovoltaics to attain high power-conversion efficiency (PCE) by improving the morphology and the charge transport properties had already been validated in another study. We show that the advantages of a stable quaternary solar cell can also be achieved with an optimized BHJ composition ratio of 5:5:3:12, which provides a PCE of 10.6%. Our device showed high shunt resistance and low series resistance, thus facilitating appreciable charge extraction even under low-intensity light conditions such as 500 lx white LED illumination.
