ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.orgel.2012.05.054 | Abstract: | We present a solution-processed pseudo bi-layer organic solar cell with poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (P3HT) as donor and indene-C 60 bisadduct (ICBA) as acceptor. The devices were fabricated by sequential processing of the active components followed by a thermal annealing treatment. An efficiency of 5.9% was achieved under AM 1.5G irradiation (1000 W/m 2). The obtained efficiency is attributed to an enhanced nanomorphology that arises from the inter-diffusion of the ICBA molecules into a layer of pre-organised polymer (P3HT) and also due to the subsequent crystallisation of the ICBA molecules. These processes facilitate efficient charge generation and extraction. Time of flight-secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS) depth profiling was carried out for different thermal annealing treatments of these pseudo bi-layer devices, which reveals full inter-diffusion of ICBA into the polymer P3HT. Photo-CELIV (charge extraction by linearly increasing voltage) studies elucidates that the thermal annealing imparts crystallinity to the fullerene phase which results in the improvement of charge carrier mobility. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
