Abstract
Molecular dopants can effectively improve the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). Here, PM6/BTP-eC9-4Cl-based OSCs are fabricated by a layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition method, and the electron acceptor BTP-eC9-4Cl layer is properly doped by n-type dopant benzyl viologen (BV) or [4-(1,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)phenyl]dimethyl-amine (N-DMBI-H). The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OSCs increases from 16.80 to 17.61 or 17.84% when the acceptor layer is doped by BV (0.01 wt %) or N-DMBI-H (0.01 wt %), respectively. At the optimal doping concentration, the device exhibits more balanced charge transport, fewer bimolecular recombinations, faster charge separation and transfer, and better stability. This doping strategy has good universality; when the acceptor layer L8-BO of LbL OSCs is doped by 0.01 wt % BV or 0.01 wt % N-DMBI-H, the PCE increases from 17.49 to 18.35 or 18.25%, respectively. All in all, our studies have demonstrated that the doping strategy is effective in enhancing the performance of OSCs.
