Abstract
In this work, the structural and optical properties of bulk heterojunctions (BHJ) composed of MEH-PPV and carbon-based non-fullerene nanodiamond (ND) have been investigated. The steady-state absorption, temperature-dependent fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy demonstrate the conjugated length is increased and more ordered crystalline domains are formed in MEH-PPV films with the increment of ND content. The time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and 2D microscopy indicate that the BHJs with higher concentrations of ND may enhance the donor/acceptor interfacial contact which favors the dissociation of excitons into free charge carriers. Solar cells based on MEH-PPV:ND BHJs were fabricated to explore the interplay between structural, photophysical properties, and ultimately, device performances. The results show that optimization of blend composition and structures with ND may improve the efficiency of the thin film photovoltaic devices.
