High-Efficiency Organic Photovoltaic Cells With an Antimony Quantum Sheet Modified Hole Extraction Layer

Abstract

2D materials with unique opto-electronic properties have shown immense potential for application in organic photovoltaics (OPVs). In this article, we reported a facile and efficient strategy to enhance the device performance of OPVs by doping 2D material of antimonene quantum sheets (AMQSs) into PEDOT:PSS emulsion. The interfacial properties between the hole extraction layer (HEL) and PBDB-T:ITIC-based active layer were properly meliorated, achieving boosted power conversion efficiency (PCE). Results indicate that the introduced AMQSs could help suppress the recombination loss and improve charge extraction efficiency. Over 8.09% enhancement of PCE is observed compared to that of the control cell with pure PEDOT:PSS. This work provides a simple and valid strategy of HEL modification to realize high efficiency OPVs.
