Abstract

We demonstrate a cascade-energy-level alignment based organic photovoltaic cell by using stacking three materials with appropriate energy levels. A cell with a structure of ITO/4,4′,4″-tris[N,(3-methylphenyl)-N-phenylamino]-triphenylamine (m-MTDATA)/copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/fullerene (C60)/4,4′-N,N′-dicarubreneazolebiphenyl (BCP)/LiF/Al was shown to have a power efficiency enhancement in more than 30% over that of a standard reference cell (ITO/CuPc/C60/BCP/LiF/Al), which has only one exciton-dissociation interface. The efficiency improvement was mainly ascribed to the ingenious cascade-energy-level alignment and the application of the bipolar carrier transporting property.
