Homo-tandem structures to achieve the ideal external quantum efficiency in small molecular organic solar cells
Abstract:
In this study, we report a homo-tandem structure of small molecular organic solar cells (SMOSCs) using identical single-junction devices as sub-cells. The trade-off between the absorption and internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of single-junction devices tends to limit the external quantum efficiency (EQE). However, multiple-stacked thin cells with maximized IQE in homo-tandem structures amplify the absorption to achieve the ideal EQE. As a result, a high power conversion efficiency of 7.81% is achieved in tetraphenyldibenzoperiflanthene (DBP):C70-based homo-tandem SMOSCs, which is 21.8% higher than that in a single-junction device.

Acid Strength and Molecular Structure
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...
