Abstract

An easy-accessible amine group functionalized fullerene derivative, DMAPA-C60, is explored as a cathode buffer layer (CBL) in polymer solar cells (PSCs) for our presently tested three different material systems, namely P3HT:PCBM, PBDTTT-C:PC70BM and PBDTTT-C-T:PC70BM. The power conversion efficiencies of the three systems with DMAPA-C60 as the CBL reach 3.88%, 6.29% and 7.42%, respectively, which are much higher than those of the corresponding PSCs with the Al-only cathode and even slightly higher than those of the corresponding Ca/Al devices of these systems. The DMAPA-C60 CBL also allows high work function metals (Ag, Cu, and Au) as cathodes.
