| Summary: | In this study, novel octa 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenoxy substituted phthalocyanines, and tetra chloro and tetra 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenoxy substituted phthalocyanines were synthesized, characterized, examined their spectral properties comparatively and investigated of hybrid solar cell application of them. The spectral characterization can be performed for all phthalocyanine compounds, solar cell application was only possible for tetra chloro tetra 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenoxy substituted phthalocyanines, the others phthalocyanines not due to their low yield.
Solar cell performance parameters such as short circuit current density (JSC), open circuit voltage (VOC), fill factor (FF) and power conversion efficiency (η) were studied as comparison parameters. Incorporation of Ni(II)Pc (4) into the reference structure between ZnO and C60 caused an increase 23.4% in Jsc and 4.4% in η whereas incorporation of Co(II)Pc (3) layer into the reference structure caused an increase 135.0% in Jsc and 107.0% in η under an illumination of 100 mW/cm2 with an AM 1.5G solar simulator. The best JSC and η (%) values were obtained for P3HT based solar cells with Co(II)Pc (3) interlayer.

Solar cell properties of the tetra chloro tetra 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenoxy substituted phthalocyanines were studied using the ITO/ZnO/C60/ P3HT /LiF/Al structure. In order to improve and compare performance parameters of the poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) based solar cells, the tetra chloro tetra 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenoxy substituted H2Pc (2), Co(II)Pc (3) and Ni(II)Pc (4) compounds were incorporated individually into the solar cell structure between ZnO and C60 layers in which amorphous ZnO nanoparticles serves as electron transfer layer. Solar cell performance parameters such as short circuit current density (JSC), open circuit voltage (VOC), fill factor (FF) and power conversion efficiency (η) were studied as comparison parameters. Incorporation of Ni(II)Pc (4) into the reference structure between ZnO and C60 caused an increase 23.4 % in Jsc and 4.4 % in η whereas incorporation of Co(II)Pc (3) layer into the reference structure caused an increase 135.0 % in Jsc and 107.0 % in η under an illumination of 100 mW/cm2 with an AM 1.5G solar simulator. The best JSC and η (%) values were obtained for P3HT based solar cells with Co(II)Pc (3) interlayer. |
