Area of Science:

Materials Science
Photovoltaics
Nanotechnology

Background:

Hole selective layers (HSL) are crucial for efficient solar cell performance.
Poly(ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) is a common HSL but suffers from stability issues.
Developing stable, high-performance HSLs is essential for advancing solar cell technology.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a novel, low-temperature solution-processed method for molybdenum oxide (MoO(3)) HSL preparation.
To achieve HSLs with charge-transporting properties comparable to PEDOT:PSS but with enhanced device stability.
To demonstrate the suitability of the developed method for large-scale manufacturing.

Main Methods:

Combustion processing using ammonium heptamolybdate, acetylacetone, and nitric acid.
Incorporation of a small amount of PEDOT:PSS into the precursor solution to improve film morphology.
Low-temperature annealing (150 °C) to form α- and β-MoO(3) phases.

Main Results:

The combustion method significantly lowers the annealing temperature required for α-phase MoO(3) formation.
The resulting MoO(3) HSL exhibits high charge-transporting performance.
Films annealed at 150 °C show a flat, continuous surface morphology.
The method overcomes the stability limitations of traditional PEDOT:PSS HSLs.

Conclusions:

The developed combustion processing method provides a simple, rapid, and effective route to stable MoO(3) HSLs.
The low annealing temperature and improved stability make this method highly promising for roll-to-roll manufacturing of polymer solar cells.
This approach offers a viable alternative to existing HSLs for next-generation photovoltaic devices.
