Increase in internal quantum efficiency in small molecular oligothiophene: C60 mixed heterojunction solar cells by substrate heating

2010 
We present small molecule solar cells with α,ω-bis-(dicyanovinylene)-sexithiophene:C60 mixed heterojunctions, reaching power conversion efficiencies of 4.9±0.2%. We use substrate heating during deposition of the mixed layer to achieve an optimized morphology and show that this significantly improves the internal quantum efficiencies (IQEs) to values approaching 70%. By optical modeling, we evaluate the amount of loss due to absorption in inactive layers and show that IQE of the active layer itself is about 80%.
