Abstract
Efforts to enhance the commercial viability of organic solar cells (OSCs) prioritize high power conversion efficiency(PCE). This study proposes precision tuning of the photoactive layer thickness in the nanoscale as an innovative method to boost efficiency. Utilizing PDTS-DTTFBT: PC71BM, an organic blend, as the active layer aims to capture a broad photon range while addressing optical losses due to low-energy photons rather than mere absorption. The study integrates PEDOT: PSS and molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) as hole transport layers, alongside C60, PC60BM, and ZnO electron transport layers. Meticulous analysis of their photon absorption, reflectance, charge carrier generation, and localized energy variance emphasizes their impact on the efficiency of PDTS-DTFFBT: PC71BM active films. Notably, incorporating MoO3 as the hole transport layer significantly mitigated losses and altered localized energy, culminating in an impressive 17.69% efficiency at an optimized blend thickness of 120 nm. Augmenting blend thickness directly boosts PCE and current density until reaching optimal thickness, while diminishing fill factor, with minimal effect on open-circuit voltage. These results highlight the efficacy of this methodology in enhancing the performance of organic solar cells.
