Electrical performance study of organic photovoltaics for indoor applications : with potential in Internet of Things devices / Studie av elektriska egenskaper hos organiska solceller för inomhusbruk : med potential för enheter inom Internet of ThingsAndersson, August January 2020 (has links)
The evolution of the internet of things (IoT) opens the market opportunity for organic photovoltaic cells, especially for indoor applications where the lifetime of the organic cells is longer than outdoor. For example, IoT requires off-grid energy sources for many devices with low power consumption. In this work, new materials were tested as candidate components in the active layer of printed organic photovoltaics by fabrication of devices. The initial electrical performance of these devices and their stability over time were investigated by measurements of the current-voltage characteristics. Three selected active layers were further investigated with atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. The current-voltage measurements showed that the addition of a solvent additive to the active layer ink affects the initial electrical performance as well as the stability of the devices. The AFM measurements showed that the surface topography of the active layer was affected by the sort of solvent additive that was used. Three new electron acceptor material and two solvent additives showed promising electrical performance and stability.
