P3HT:PCBM Organik Güneş Pillerinde Plazmonik Fotoakım İyileştirmesi

Uygun maliyetli, yenilenebilir enerji geliştirme ve dağıtma ihtiyacı, son birkaç on yılda son derece önemli hale geliyor. Nano yapılı organik güneş pilleri, düşük maliyetli ve yüksek verimli yenilenebilir enerji sağlamak için uzun vadeli potansiyele sahiptir. Son yıllarda, yarı iletken polimerlerle harmanlanmış nanoparçacıklara dayalı fotovoltaik hücreler, %17'den fazla iyi performans ve seçkin güç dönüştürme verimliliği elde etti. Bu yapılar, çeşitli boyut ve şekillerde metal nanoparçacıkları içerir. %20 organik güneş pili verimi elde etmek için yoğun araştırmalar yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, önerilen bir nanoyapılı organik güneş pili tasarımı için ayrıntılı bir sayısal simülasyon yapılmıştır. Yüksek verimli bir organik güneş pili elde etmek için aktif katmanda (P3HT:PCBM) farklı nanoparçacık şekilleri ve boyutları göz önünde bulundurulur.

Plasmonic Photocurrent Improvement in P3HT:PCBM Organic Solar Cells

The need to develop and deploy large-scale, cost-effective, renewable energy is becoming tremendously important in the last few decades. Nanostructured organic solar cells have the long-term potential to provide low cost, and high-efficiency renewable energy. In recent years, photovoltaic cells based on nanoparticles blended with semiconducting polymers have achieved good performance and distinguished power conversion efficiencies, greater than 17%. These structures include various sizes and shapes of metal nanoparticles. Intensive research is being done towards achieving organic solar cell efficiency of 20%. In this work, a detailed numerical simulation is done for a proposed nanostructured organic solar cell design. Different nanoparticle shapes and sizes are considered in the active layer (P3HT:PCBM) to obtain a highly efficient organic solar cell.
