Charge Transfer in Conjugated Polymer Mxene Interface

Optimization of charge generation and charge transport is crucial for the fabrication of highly efficient polymer solar cells. In the present work, using ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy, we showed the efficient charge generation and transport at polymer blend MXene interface compared to PEDOT:PSS interface. We observed long charge carrier lifetime, strong photoluminescence of donors and acceptors and higher current on PBDB:ITIC thin film prepared on ITO substrate with MXene. Our study provides the guidelines for the fabrication of inexpensive, flexible, and highly flexible polymer solar cells by interface tuning.
