Abstract

Organic photovoltaic cell is fabricated with tetrabenzoporhyrin (BP) as a donor material. Tetrabenzoporhyrin is formed by thermal conversion of the soluble precursor that has four bicycle rings instead of benzo-rings. Upon heat treatment above 150°C, the precursor molecule is converted to semiconductive benzoporphyrin, which is insoluble against conventional organic solvents. Hetero junction OPV cell is made of benzoporhyrin/fullerene layers with power conversion efficiency of 2.2%. Taking advantage of insoluble character of BP, p-i-n heterojunction OPV is successfully fabricated from solution, with BP/BP:fullerene/fullerene layers. This solution-processed p-i-n device exhibited further improvement of power conversion efficiency, 3.0%.
