Abstract
In this paper, an organic photovoltaic device based on an acceptor of solution-processable functionalized graphene was designed. A short circuit current density (Jsc) of 4.0mAcm−2, open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.72V, and a solar power conversion efficiency of 1.1% were obtained for the device of indium tin oxide/poly(ethylene dioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonic acid (40nm)/poly(3-hexylthiophene-1, 3-diyl):graphene (graphene 10wt%, 100nm)/LiF (1nm)/Al (70nm) after an annealing treatment under simulated AM1.5G 100mW illumination in air. Because of the low price, ease of preparation, and inertness against ambient conditions, soluble graphene will be a promising candidate used for acceptor materials in the photovoltaic applications.Keywords
