Charge
transport, extraction, and collection play important roles
in the working process of organic solar cells (OSCs), and the interface
engineering is one of the key factors to realize the high-throughput
printing fabrication of OSCs. The structure design or doping of electrode
interlayer materials can effectively suppress the recombination of
carriers at the interface and improve the ohmic contact between the
active layer and the electrodes, which is a useful method to achieve
a high power conversion efficiency (PCE). Poly(9,9-bis(3′-(N,N-dimethyl)-N-ethylammoniumpropyl-2,7-fluorene)-alt-2,7-(9,9-dioctylfluorene))dibromide (PFN-Br) is a widely
used alcohol-soluble cathode interlayer material. By doping PFN-Br
with melamine (MA), the charge extraction efficiency and nongeminate
recombination at the cathode interface are successfully optimized.
Finally, the device efficiencies of PM6:Y6 and PM6:BTP-eC9 are increased
to an amazing 17.44% and 18.58%, respectively. This work provides
a new strategy for the fabrication of high-efficiency OSCs.
