Fabricate and characterize a two-layer organic thin-film photovoltaic cell to evaluate its power conversion efficiency and charge-generation mechanisms.
Fabricated a thin-film, two-layer organic photovoltaic cell combining copper phthalocyanine and a perylene tetracarboxylic derivative.
Evaluated device performance and current-voltage characteristics under simulated AM2 illumination.
Achieved a power conversion efficiency of approximately 1% under simulated AM2 illumination.
Obtained fill factor values up to 0.65, enabled by charge-generation efficiency that operates relatively independent of bias voltage.
Identified the interface between the two organic layers, rather than the electrode-organic contacts, as the primary determinant of photovoltaic performance.
