Abstract

Fullerene interlayers are a common approach to improve electron extraction in organic solar cells. In this work, we investigate n-doping of solution processed fullerene derivatives by the cationic dye rhodamine B (RhB), formerly known from vacuum device fabrication only. The doping efficiency under illumination is quantified by electron paramagnetic resonance yielding 0.3% for PCBM, and 0.02% for bis-PCBM and ICBA. Incorporated into nanoparticulate organic solar cells, n-doped fullerene layers enhanced the electron extraction and improved the devices’ power conversion efficiencies.
