The use of nanoimprint lithography to improve efficiencies of bilayer organic solar cells based on P3HT and a small molecule acceptor

Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) was carried out on bilayer organic photovoltaics (OPVs) based on regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) as electron donor and 4,7-bis(2-(1-ethylhexyl-4,5-dicyano-imidazol-2-yl)vinyl)benzo[c]1,2,5-thiadiazole (EV-BT) as electron acceptor. The power conversio...

description Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) was carried out on bilayer organic photovoltaics (OPVs) based on regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) as electron donor and 4,7-bis(2-(1-ethylhexyl-4,5-dicyano-imidazol-2-yl)vinyl)benzo[c]1,2,5-thiadiazole (EV-BT) as electron acceptor. The power conversion efficiency of the devices after nanoimprinting increased from 0.20% to 0.30%, closer to that of the bulk heterojunction device at 0.37%. As a result, NIL proved to be a feasible method for improving the bilayer OPV performance by increasing the donor/acceptor interfacial area.
