White phosphorescence polymer light emitting diodes (WPhPLEDs) with a glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PFO:$Ir(ppy)_3$:MDMO-PPV/TPBI/LiF/Al structure were fabricated to investigate the effects of $Ir(ppy)_3$ doping concentrations on the optical and electrical properties of the devices. PFO, $Ir(ppy)_3$ and MDMO-PPV conjugated polymers as host and guest materials in the emission layer were spin coated at various concentrations of $Ir(ppy)_3$ ranging from 0.0 to 20.0 vol.%. As the concentration of $Ir(ppy)_3$ increased from 5.0 to 20.0 vol.%, the luminance and current efficiency values of the devices decreased clearly, which are attributable to the quenching effect at a high doping concentration. The maximum luminance and current density were 2850 $cd/m^2$ and 741 $mA/cm^2$, respectively for a WPhPLED with an $Ir(ppy)_3$ concentration of 5.0 vol.%. The CIE color coordinates were about x=0.33 and y=0.34 at 11V, showing a good white color.

태양전지는 무기태양전지와 유기태양전지 등이 연구 되고 있는데 [1] 그 중 유기물질의 장점(높은 수율, solution phase processing, 저비용으로 전력 생산)과 무기재료의 장점(높은 전자 이동도, 넓은 흡수 범위, 우수한 환경 및 열 안정성)을 융합함으로써 장기적 구조안정성의 확보와 광전변환의 고 효율화를 동시에 달성하기 위한 유기무기 하이브리드 태양전지가 최근 큰 관심을 끌고 있다[2]. 본 연구에서는 hybrid photovoltaics에 유기물 MDMO-PPV와 전도성 고분자 PEDOT:PSS를 무기물 GaN 위에 spin coating 하여 두께에 다른 효율을 측정하였다. 유기물 MDMO-PPV는 p-형으로 클로로벤젠, 톨루엔과 같은 유기 용매에 잘 녹으며 HOMO 5.33eV, LUMO 2.97eV, energy band gap 2.4eV이며 99.5%의 순도 물질을 사용하였다. 또한 정공 수송층(hole transport layer, HTL)으로 PEDOT:PSS를 사용하였으며, HOMO 5.0eV, LUMO 3.6eV, energy band gap 1.4eV를 가지며 증류수나 에탄올과 같은 수용성 용매에 잘 녹는 특성을 가지고 있다. 무기물은 III-V 족 물질 n-GaN(002)을 사용하였고 valence band energy 1.9eV, conduction band energy 6.3eV, energy band gap 3.4eV, 높은 전자 이동도와 높은 포화 속도, 광전자 소자에 유리한 광 전기적 특성을 가지고 있다. 기판으로는 GaN와 격자 부정합도와 열팽창계수 부정합도가 큰 Sapphire (Al2O3) 이종 기판을 사용하였다. 전극으로 Au를 사용하였으며 E-beam증착하였다. Reflector로서 Al를 thermal evaporator로 증착하였다 [3]. 실험 과정은 두께에 따른 효율을 알아보기 위해 MDMO-PPV를 900~1,500 rpm으로 spin coating 하였고, 열처리에 따른 효율을 알아보기 위해 열처리 온도 조건을 $110{\sim}170^{\circ}C$의 변화를 주었다. FE-SEM으로 표면과 단면을 관찰하였으며 J-V 특성을 알아보기 위해 각 샘플마다 solar simulator를 사용하여 측정하였고 그 결과를 논의하였다.

In this study, we have shown the power conversion efficiency of organic thin film photovoltaic devices utilizing a conjugated polymer/fullerene bulk-hetero junction structure. We use MDMO-PPV(Poly[2-methoxy-5-(3,7-dimethyloctyloxy -1,4-phenylenevinylene) as an electron donor, PCBM([6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester) as an electron accepter, and PEDOT:PSS used as a HTL(Hole Transport Layer). We have fabricated OPV(Organic Photovoltaic) devices as a function of the MDMO-PPV/PCBM concentration from 1:1 to 1:5. The electrical characteristics of the fabricated devices were investigated by means of I-V, P-V, F·F(Fill Factor) and PCE(power conversion efficiency). The power conversion efficiency was gradually increased until 1:4 ratio, also the highest efficiency of 0.4996% was obtained at the ratio.

In this study, we have investigated the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells utilizing conjugated polymer/fullerene bulk-hetero junction(BHJ) device structures. We have fabricated poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT), poly[2methoxy-5-(3',7'-dimethyloctyl-oxy)-1-4-phenylenevinylene] as an electron donor, [6,6]-phenyl $C_{61}$ butyric acid methylester(PCBM-$C_{61}$)as an electron acceptor, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS) used as a hole injection layer(HIL), after fabricated active layer, between active layer and metal cathode(Al) deposited LiF interlayer(5 nm). The properties of fabricated organic solar cell(OSC) devices have been analyzed as a function of different thickness. The electrical characteristics of the fabricated devices were investigated by means J-V, fill factor(FF) and power conversion efficiency(PCE). We observed the highest PCEs of 0.628%(MDMO-PPV:PCBM-$C_{61}$) and 2.3%(P3HT:PCBM-$C_{61}$) with LiF inter-layer at the highest thick active layer, which is 1.3times better than the device without LiF inter-layer.
