DIFFERENT LAYERS ANALYSIS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF PM6:Y6 BASED ORGANIC SOLAR CELLS

Organic solar cells are now experiencing rapid development after the
discovery of non-fullerene acceptors (NFA) as material recipients. This makes
NFA a material that is often used for the manufacture of organic solar cells
because it is proven to increase PCE (Power Conversion Efficiency). In this study,
an organic solar cell model was designed with an active bulk-heterojunction layer
consisting of a mixture of electron donor (PM6) and electron acceptor (Y6)
materials which are NFA (Non-Fullerene Acceptor) materials, the anode
transparent electrode in the form of ITO (indium tin oxide), the electron transport
layer at ZnO and MoO3 as Hole transport layer as well as Ag as an cathode
electrode. Simulations were carried out to observe the output parameters in the
form of JV Curve Characterization by varying the thickness of the active layer,
electron transport layer, and different hole transport layers using GPVDM
(General-Purpose Photovoltaic Device Model) software. After the optimization
process was carried out, the PCE value was quite good, which was reach 9.288%
with the thickness of each layer, including ITO 150 nm, , ZnO 20 nm, PM6: Y6
130 nm, MoO3 7 nm, and Ag 110 nm.
