Ternary Blend Polymer Solar Cells Based on Wide-bandgap Polymer PDCBT and Low-bandgap Polymer PTB7-Th
Light-harvesting efficiency can be prominently increased by using ternary blend polymer solar cells, in which a wide-bandgap crystalline polymer is incorporated into a binary blend of a low-bandgap polymer and a fullerene derivative. This is partly due to the complementary absorption bands over a wide wavelength range, and partly ascribed to the thick photoactive layer. As a result, the best power conversion efficiency of 9.40% was obtained for the ternary blend device with a thickness of approximate to 300 nm.
