摘要
We report on the photovoltaic properties of solar cells containing a new discotic liquid crystalline material (DL-CuPc) based on copper phthalocyanine. In addition to being soluble, these materials can self-organize into highly ordered structures which can lead to good transport properties that can potentially be superior to those of amorphous materials. Increase in short-circuit current density and fill factor was obtained by thermal annealing of spin-coated DL-CuPc layer in bi-layer solar cells based on junction between DL-CuPc and C-60. These improvements are explained by change in structure and morphology upon thermal annealing.
