Influence of DMSO-treatment on morphology, composition and performance of PEDOT:PSS layers in organic photovoltaic cellsSidhant Bom, •Torsten Balster, Marlis Ortel, and Veit Wagner — Jacobs University Bremen, Campus Ring 1, 28759 Bremen, Germany

PEDOT:PSS layers in organic solar cells are used as hole transport (HTL) and electron blocking layers. Therefore the morphology and composition of the layer and the interface have a great influence on the performance of organic photovoltaic devices.

Additional post-deposition treatment of the PEDOT:PSS layers (HTL) in P3HT/PCBM solar cells were studied in this work. For this purpose, pristine PEDOT:PSS layers were spin coated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) after annealing. Pristine and treated layers were characterized by means of electrical characterization, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

The additional post-deposition DMSO treatment induces an increase in power conversion efficiency by more than 50%. In addition, the open circuit voltage and the short-circuit current were enhanced, whereas the fill factor remained constant. This behavior is explained by modification of the PEDOT:PSS-semiconductor interface. On the one hand smoothening of the interface by reduction of large PSS particles visible in AFM occurs. On the other hand XPS data show a reduction of PSS-sulphur species. Less PSS at the interface should improve the charge carrier injection properties, as observed experimentally.
