Abstract

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have shown great potential as a new generation of energy harvesters because they possess many unique properties, including mechanical flexibility, lightweight, semi-transparency, and low-fabrication costs. Recent advancements in molecular structure and device engineering have led to achieving power conversion efficiency (PCE) exceeding 19%. However, these highly efficient active layer materials have been hampered in their commercialization by complex synthesis steps that result in high manufacturing costs. To address this issue, research is actively underway on low-cost active layer materials with simple structures. This paper introduces such cost-effective active layer materials and strategies for their synthesis.

유기태양전지(Organic photovoltaics, OPV)는 기계적 유연성, 경량, 반투명성, 낮은 제조 비용 등 여러 가지 고유한 특성을 지니고 있어 차세대 신재생 에너지원으로 큰 잠재력을 보여 왔다. 최근 분자구조 및 소자 엔지니어링의 발전으로 19% 이상의 높은 효율을 달성했다. 그러나 이러한 높은 효율을 갖춘 광활성층 물질들은 복잡한 구조로 인해 합성 과정이 복잡하며 제조비용이 높아 상용화에 어려움이 있다. 이 문제를 해결 하기 위해 간단한 구조를 갖는 저비용 광활성층 물질들에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 낮은 비용의 광활성층 물질 및 이를 합성하기 위한 전략들에 대해 소개한다.
