Research Abstract |
In this project, the fundamental studies on improvements of organic solar cell performance were targeted. The active layer of an organic solar cell consists of a blend system of p-type and n-type semiconductors. Due to the unclear nanostructures of p/n blend morphology, the energy conversion efficiency(PCE) of the organic cells has not been improved yet. The preparation of nanoporous semiconductor films was succeeded based on the template system of block copolymers. Based on the control of nanostructures, enhancement of PCE and stability of organic solar cells could be achieved.
