The average value of PCE for the freshly-prepared solar cells is used as the normalization reference value (i.e. for the four types of samples, their initial PCE values are all normalized to 1). All measurements have been done after pre-illuminating the solar cells for 40 s under the open circuit condition.
As a result, the charge density in the device is different, which can increase the mismatch of the Jsc,JV and the Jsc,EQE of the solar cell. This is pronounced in solar cells that show a nonlinear behavior of the photocurrent with light intensity. Such devices are usually recombination-limited. (16)
This spacer is presumed to facilitate electron withdrawal while concurrently amplifying the effect of conjugation in the molecular structures. The cumulative effect of these modifications ostensibly contributes to the augmented performance of the compounds, rendering them propitious candidates for organic solar cell applications. Fig. 7.
The Δ Enr of OSCs are mainly in the range of 0.2–0.3 eV, much higher than those of the inorganic or perovskite solar cells 18, 19. Therefore, to improve the photovoltaic performance of OSCs, it’s essential to identify and suppress the non-radiative loss pathways 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.
Nature Communications 15, Article number: 8872 (2024) Cite this article The high non-radiative energy loss is a bottleneck issue that impedes the improvement of organic solar cells. The formation of triplet exciton is thought to be the main source of the large non-radiative energy loss.
