We reported on the characteristics of organic solar cells (OSCs) fabricated on $HNO_3$-treated multilayer graphene (MLG) transparent electrodes. MLG electrodes were prepared using a chemical vapor deposition and a multi-transfer process. Compared to organic solar cells (OSCs) on the ITO electrodes had a fill factor of 65.97%, and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.364%, OSCs on the MLG (three-layer graphene) electrodes with sheet resistance of $274{\pm}1{\Omega}$/square and transparency of 92.1% had a fill factor of 43.46%, and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.019%. However, OSCs on the HNO3-treated MLG electrodes with lower sheet resistance of $119{\pm}1{\Omega}$/square had a fill factor of 57.54%, and a PCE of 2.861%. The results would provide a promising method to improve the performance of large-area OSCs based on MLG electrodes.

Theoretically, the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are high efficiency solar cells. However DSSCs have low power conversion efficiency (PCE) than silicon based solar cells. In this study, we use the phosphor materials, such as $Y_2O_3:Eu$ (Red), $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ (Green), $BaMgAl_{14}O_{23}:Eu$ (Blue), to enhance the PCE of DSSCs. Three phosphors were prepared and used as an effective scattering layer on the transparent $TiO_2$ with doctor blade method. We confirmed that the three scattering layers improve the PCE and Jsc due to the light harvesting enhancement via increased the scattering and absorbance in visible range. Under the sun illumination AM 1.5 conditions, the PCE of the mesoporous $TiO_2$ based DSSCs is 5.18 %. The PCE of the DSSCs with Y2O3:Eu, $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn$ and $BaMgAl_{14}O_{23}:Eu$ as scattering layer were enhanced to 5.66 %, 5.72% and 5.82%, respectably. In order to compare the optical properties change, DSSCs were measured by EQE, reflectance and PCE. At the same time, FE-SEM and XRD were used to confirm the structural changes of each layer.

이 논문은 $0.11{\mu}m$ RF CMOS 공정에서 비대칭 몸체 바이어싱을 적용한 비교기를 사용한 정류기를 제안한다. 제안하는 정류기는 MOSFET와 두 개의 비교기로 이루어져 있다. 이 비교기는 부하 전압이 입력 전압보다 높을 때 생기는 역방향 누설 전류를 줄이는 데 사용한다. 비대칭 몸체 바이어싱을 사용함으로써 비교기의 High에서 Low 상태로 바꾸는 기준 전압을 높이고, 누설 전류가 흐르는 시간을 줄인다. 13.56 MHz의 2 Vpp 교류전압을 입력하고, $1k{\Omega}$의 저항과 1 nF의 커패시터를 부하에 연결한 환경에서 측정하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 전압 변환 효율은 87.5 %, 전력 변환 효율은 45 %이고, 측정한 전압 변환 효율은 85.215 %, 전력 변환 효율은 50 %이다.

We demonstrated that the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of bilayer solar cell was significantly enhanced by inserting interfacial layer between the organic bilayer film and the Al electrode. Moreover, the water contact angle shows that the bilayer solar cells suffer from the undesirable surface component which limits the charge transport to the Al electrode. The AFM measurement has revealed that the pre- and post-thermal annealing treatments results in different morphologies of the interfacial layer which is critical for the higher PCE of the bilayer solar cells. Furthermore we have investigated the electrical properties of the bilayer solar cells and obtained insights into the detailed device mechanisms. The transient photovoltage measurements suggests that the significantly enhanced Voc is caused by reducing the recombination at the interface between the organic films and the Al electrode. By inserting the TiO2 layer between the bilayer film and Al electrode, the open circuit voltage (Voc) was increased from 0.37 to 0.66V. Consequently, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of bilayer solar cells was significantly enhanced from 1.23% to 3.71%. As the results, the TiO2 interfacial layer can be used to form an ohmic contact layer, serveing as a blocking layer to prevent the penetration of the Al, and to reduce the recombination at the interface.

By using optimum doping ratio (10 ~ 20 wt%) of glycerol, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic photovoltaic devices based on poly (3-hexylthiophene) and phenyl-$C_{61}$-butyric acid methyl ester was dramatically increased from 3.23% to 5.03%. Finally, semitransparent organic photovoltaic devices including glycerol doped poly (3,4-ethylenedioxy-thiophene):poly (styrene sulfonate) and thin Ag (< 1 nm) buffer layer typically have shown PCE > 3% with transmittance > 30% in visible ranges.

We report the origin of the improvement of the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of hybrid thin-film solar cells when a soluble C60 derivative, [6,6]-phenyl-$C_{61}$-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), is introduced as a hole-blocking layer. The PCBM layer could establish better interfacial contact by decreasing the reverse ark-saturation current density, resulting in a decrease in the probability of carrier recombination. The power conversion efficiency of this optimized device reached a maximum value of 8.34% and is the highest yet reported for hybrid thin-film solar cells.

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.

To replace the based on silicon solar cells, the third generation solar cells, Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), is low fabrication than silicon solar cells, environmentally friendly and can be applied to various field. For this reason, the DSSCs have been continuously researched. But DSSCs have one drawback that is the low power conversion efficiency (PCE) than silicon solar cells. To solve the problem, we used the backr-eflector the Al foil that can be easily obtained from the surrounding in order to improve the efficiency of the DSSCs. Easily detachable Al foil back-reflector increases the photocurrent by enhancing the harvesting light because the discarded light is reused. It also leads to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE). In addition, we compared with the efficiency of the DSSCs that is applied and does not be applied with back-reflector according to the thickness of the TiO2 photoelectrode. When the back-reflector is applied to DSSCs, the photocurrent is increased. It leads to affect the efficiency. We used to solar simulator and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) to confirm the PCE and resistance. The DSSCs were also measured by External Quantum effect (EQE). At the same time, FE-SEM and XRD were used to confirm the thickness of layer and crystal structural of photoelectrode.
