초록
Poly[(9,9-bis((6'-(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)hexyl)-2,7-fluorene)-alt-(9,9-bis(2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)-9-fluorene)) dibromide(WPF-6-oxy-F)]와 graphene oxide(GO)를 혼합하여 WPF-6-oxy-F-GO를 제조한 후 공기 중에서 감마선을 조사하였다. WPF-6-oxy-F-GO 복합재는 유기태양전지(organic solar cells, OSCs)의 정공수송층(hole transporting layer, HTL)으로서 적용하였다. GO와 비교해 보았을 때, 조사된 WPF-6-oxy-F-GO의 면저항(sheet resistance, Rsheet)은 약 2배 정도 감소하였다. 이는 감마선 조사를 통하여 WPF-6-oxy-F와 GO 사이의 C-N 결합의 형성으로 인한 π-π 공유 결합의 영향과 효율적인 packing 때문이다. 결과적으로, 조사된 WPF-6-oxy-F-GO를 정공수송층으로 적용하였을 때 유기태양전지의 효율은 6.10%까지 증가하였다. 수용성 고분자 WPF-6-oxy-F-GO는 정공수송층으로서 사용되고 있는 PEDOT:PSS를 대체하는 대안 소재로서, 높은 효율과 저가의 유기태양전지를 구현할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
The poly[(9,9-bis((6'-(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)hexyl)-2,7-fluorene)-alt-(9,9-bis(2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy) ethyl)-9-fluorene)) dibromide (WPF-6-oxy-F)] and graphene oxide (GO) was blended and irradiated with gamma ray under ambient condition. This WPF-6-oxy-F-GO composite was investigated as a hole-transporting layer (HTL) in organic solar cells (OSCs). Compared with the pristine GO, the sheet resistance (Rsheet) of irradiated WPF-6-oxy-F-GO was decreased about 2 orders of magnitude. The reason for the decrease of Rsheet is the effect of efficient π-π packing resulted from the formation of C-N bond between WPF6-oxy-F and GO. As a result, the efficiency of OSCs was dramatically enhanced ~ 6.10% by introducing irradiated WPF-6-oxy-F-GO as a HTL. WPF-6-oxy-F-GO is a sufficient candidate for HTL to facilitate the low-cost and high efficiency OSCs.
