Abstract

Polymer photovoltaic cells (PVCs) consisting of a blend of p-type poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and n-type [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) were fabricated and investigated the role of the PCBM concentration. The photocurrent and the power conversion efficiency gradually increased with increase in PCBM concentration up to 50% and decreased with further increase in PCBM concentration. Both the root mean square and average roughnesses measured by atomic force microscopy decrease as the PCBM concentration increases from 0 to approximately 70%. The surface morphology of P3HT/PCBM blended and Improved donor-acceptor proximity, leading to electron conductivity, contribute to the increase in power conversion efficiency.
