“…50 The same study also indicates that below that temperature the intact molecule is evaporated. However, there are a few applications of rhodamine 6G sublimation in vacuum, 51,52 indicating that the sublimation can easily be accompanied by thermal decomposition of the molecule.…”

Electrospray Ion Beam Deposition: Soft-Landing and Fragmentation of Functional Molecules at Solid Surfaces

The ion beam deposition (IBD) of rhodamine dye molecules on solid surfaces in high vacuum is explored in order to characterize the possibility of fabricating molecular coatings or nanostructures from nonvolatile molecules. Molecular ion beams with a well-defined composition are deposited on silicon oxide surfaces with a controlled kinetic energy. Photoluminescence spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) are employed in order to characterize the sample with respect to coverage, homogeneity, and the fraction of intact landed ions (soft-landing ratio). We find that homogeneous rhodamine films of defined composition can be produced at energies of 2؊100 eV. The coverage is found to be proportional to the ion dose. Soft-landing is observed for energies up to 35 eV.

“…[15b, [98][99][100][101][102][103] Small molecules are indeed very attractive for tandem cell manufacturing, since i) any interference of the individual layers as a result of solvent diffusion is absent and ii) the recombination layer is typically an evaporated metal layer a few nanometers thick.…”

Solution‐processed bulk‐heterojunction solar cells have gained serious attention during the last few years and are becoming established as one of the future photovoltaic technologies for low‐cost power production. This article reviews the highlights of the last few years, and summarizes today's state‐of‐the‐art performance. An outlook is given on relevant future materials and technologies that have the potential to guide this young photovoltaic technology towards the magic 10% regime. A cost model supplements the technical discussions, with practical aspects any photovoltaic technology needs to fulfil, and answers to the question as to whether low module costs can compensate lower lifetimes and performances.

“…Tandem cells were originally developed by Hiramoto et al, 101 and since then, both vacuum-deposited 102 and solution-processed 96 active layers have been used to fabricate tandem devices. However, semitransparent thin-layer of metal that were used as the recombination layer in these devices led to optical losses.…”

The power conversion efficiency of an organic solar cell has now exceeded the 10% mark, which is a significant improvement in the last decade. This has been made possible due to the development of low-band-gap polymers with tunable electron affinity, ionization potential, solubility, and miscibility with the fullerene acceptor, and the improved understanding of the factors affecting the critical device parameters such as the V OC and the J SC . This review examines the latest strategies, results, and trends that have evolved in the design of solar cells with better efficiency and durability.
