A Study on CuPc:C60 and other emerging organic materials in solar cell applications

The increasing demand for low-cost energy without environmental impact and green-house effect is one of the major driving force in the fabrication of organic solar cells (OSC). Even though OSCs are flexible power sources with light weight, its efficiency need to be improved for large scale commercialization. In recent years various new approaches has been developed to increase OSCs performance parameters. Many new organic materials has emerged as an alternative to widely used P3HT:PCBM organic material. Significant improvement in efficiency was reported with these different active layer materials. In this paper, we have studied the performance of different OSC with CuPc/C

blend active material as well as the influence of other emerging organic materials.
