Abstract
In the field of organic solar cells (OSCs), the interfacial layer plays the role of enhancing carrier extraction/transportation, inhibiting their recombination, etc. In contrast to the wide variety of cathode interfacial materials with good modification ability, much less effort has been reported for anode interfacial materials. In this study, we report a polyoxometalate-based inorganic molecular cluster, zinc phosphotungstate (Zn3P2W24O80, denoted ZnPW), as an anode interfacial layer. Based on the PM6/EH-HD-4F/L8-BO-F ternary system, the device with ZnPW modification achieved a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and a fill factor of up to 18.67 and 80.29%, respectively, which are higher than the counterpart device (PCE of 18.01%) with PEDOT/PSS as the anode interfacial layer. Detailed studies revealed that under the modification of ZnPW, the devices obtained promoted light absorption and suitable energy level matching between the active layer and the electrode, reduced contact resistance, and suppressed charge recombination. In addition, the ZnPW-modified devices had improved photostability and storage stability compared to PEDOT/PSS-modified devices. Our work shows that the polyoxometalate-based inorganic nanocluster ZnPW has great advantages in enhancing the device performance and stability of OSCs.
