Relationship between purity of CuPc and properties of organic thin photovoltaic cells
Properties of organic thin photovoltaic cells using copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) with different purities are studied. When we change purity of CuPc, only open-circuit voltage (V-OC) increases as CuPc material purity increases while short-circuit current show a same value. Decrease in VOC of cell using low-purity CuPc is maybe caused by impurities that are taken in CuPc layer. We show the model to explain this phenomenon and examine propriety of it.
