TY - JOUR A1 - Pradhan, Basudev A1 - Albrecht, Steve A1 - Stiller, Burkhard A1 - Neher, Dieter T1 - Inverted organic solar cells comprising low-temperature-processed ZnO films JF - Applied physics : A, Materials science & processing N2 - Inverted organic solar cells are fabricated using low-temperature-annealed ZnO film as an electron transport layer. Uniform ZnO films were prepared by spin coating a diethylzinc (DEZ) precursor solution in air, followed by annealing at 100 A degrees C. Organic solar cells prepared on these ZnO films with a 1:1 P3HT:PCBM blend as the active layer show a high power conversion efficiency of 4.03 %, which is more than 10 % higher than the PCE of solar cells comprising ZnO prepared via a high-temperature sol-gel route.

The complexes display two bands in the visible region near 410–420 and 440–450 nm. The complexes are diamagnetic and show well defined 1H NMR lines. They are electroactive in acetonitrile solution and exhibit a well defined RuII/RuIII couple near 1.20 to 1.30 V and −1.40 to −1.50 V due to ligand reduction versus Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). The solutions are also luminescent, with peaks are near 600 nm. All the complexes are electroluminescent in nature with peaks lying near 580 nm. L1 and L3 ligated complexes with two bpy co-ligands show weak photoluminescence (PL) but stronger electroluminescence (EL) compared to corresponding L2 ligated analogues.
