    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Energy Science
    • Polymer Science

    Background:

    • Organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) suffer from low power conversion efficiency due to limited charge carrier mobility.
    • This limitation restricts optimal film thickness for solar spectrum absorption.
    • Efficient charge carrier collection is crucial for enhancing OPV performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To enhance hole carrier collection in OPVs.
    • To investigate a facile approach for structuring the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) layer.
    • To explore the impact of structured PEDOT:PSS on optical properties.

    Main Methods:

    • Nanosphere lithography was employed to structure the PEDOT:PSS layer.
    • The structured PEDOT:PSS served as a hole collecting intermediate layer in OPVs.
    • Optical properties of the structured layer were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Structuring PEDOT:PSS potentially shortens the hole collection path.
    • Enhanced hole carrier collection was achieved.
    • The study investigated the optical property modifications resulting from structuring.

    Conclusions:

    • The nanosphere lithography method offers a viable approach to structure PEDOT:PSS.
    • Structuring PEDOT:PSS can improve charge carrier collection, paving the way for thicker OPVs.
    • Further investigation into optical property changes is warranted.
