Description
本発明は、有機材料を用いた太陽電池及びその製法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a solar cell using an organic material and a manufacturing method thereof.
化石燃料は、エネルギー源として現在主流を占めているが、有限であり、また、炭酸ガスによる地球温暖化の問題があり、代替エネルギーが求められている。
太陽電池は、このような問題がなく、注目を集めている。
現在、普及している太陽電池は、シリコン系である。
しかしながら、シリコン系太陽電池は、製造コストが高いという問題がある。
そこで、安価が有機材料を用いた太陽電池の開発が進められている。
有機太陽電池としては、電極間にポルフィリン誘導体を挟持したものが開示されている(特許文献1参照)。
しかし、ポルフィリン誘導体は、電荷輸送効果が十分でなかった。
Fossil fuels currently occupy the mainstream as an energy source, but are finite and have a problem of global warming due to carbon dioxide gas, and alternative energy is required.
Solar cells do not have such problems and are attracting attention.
Currently, solar cells that are widely used are silicon-based.
However, silicon-based solar cells have a problem of high manufacturing costs.
Therefore, development of inexpensive solar cells using organic materials has been promoted.
As an organic solar cell, a solar cell in which a porphyrin derivative is sandwiched between electrodes is disclosed (see Patent Document 1).
However, the porphyrin derivative has not been sufficient in charge transport effect.
そこで、光励起有機分子と電荷輸送高分子の混合溶液から電解重合による薄膜作成法による製造方法が開発された(非特許文献1参照)。 Then, the manufacturing method by the thin film preparation method by electropolymerization from the mixed solution of a photoexcited organic molecule and a charge transport polymer was developed (refer nonpatent literature 1).
しかし、この方法によると、光励起有機分子の電荷輸送高分子に対する量を少なくしないと成膜できないという問題があった。このため、光励起有機分子のドープ量は少なくせざるを得ず、光電変換性能が小さくなるという問題がある。また、光励起有機分子のドープ量が少ないため、アルミ等の金属界面とのショットキー障壁部位が少なくなり、電荷分離、移動が難しいため、乾式有機太陽電池に応用することは困難であった。 However, this method has a problem that the film cannot be formed unless the amount of the photoexcited organic molecule with respect to the charge transport polymer is reduced. For this reason, there is a problem that the doping amount of the photoexcited organic molecules must be reduced, and the photoelectric conversion performance is reduced. Further, since the amount of doped photoexcited organic molecules is small, the number of Schottky barrier portions with the metal interface such as aluminum is reduced, and charge separation and migration are difficult, so that it is difficult to apply to dry organic solar cells.
また、光励起有機分子と電荷輸送高分子の混合溶液をスピンコート法により成膜する方法は、光励起有機分子と電荷輸送高分子の結合が不十分であり、光励起有機分子で励起された電子の移動効率が低く、光電変換性能が低いという問題があった。 In addition, the method of forming a film of a mixed solution of photoexcited organic molecules and charge transporting polymer by spin coating method has insufficient bonding between photoexcited organic molecules and charge transporting polymer, and the movement of electrons excited by photoexcited organic molecules There was a problem that efficiency was low and photoelectric conversion performance was low.
更に、蒸着により成膜する方法もあるが(特許文献2参照)、これも光励起有機分子と電荷輸送高分子の結合が不十分であり、光励起有機分子で励起された電子の移動効率が低く、光電変換性能が低いという問題があった。
従って、本発明の目的は、このような問題点がなく、光電変換性能が高い太陽電池を提供することにある。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell that does not have such problems and has high photoelectric conversion performance.
斯かる実情に鑑み、本発明者は、鋭意研究を行った結果、電荷輸送高分子を主成分とする電荷輸送高分子層と、光励起有機分子を主成分とする光励起有機分子層の2層に分け、これらの層を重合により形成し、かつ両層間も化学結合させれば、上記問題点がなく高性能の有機太陽電池が得られることを見出し本発明を完成した。 In view of such circumstances, as a result of intensive research, the inventor of the present invention has two layers: a charge transporting polymer layer mainly composed of a charge transporting polymer and a photoexcited organic molecule layer mainly composed of a photoexcited organic molecule. It was found that if these layers were formed by polymerization and both layers were chemically bonded, a high-performance organic solar cell could be obtained without the above-mentioned problems, and the present invention was completed.

以下、本発明を図面を用いて詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
図1は、本発明の有機太陽電池の1例を示す断面図である。 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the organic solar battery of the present invention.
図1において、1は基板であり、材料としては、ガラスが一般的であるが、透明樹脂等も用いることができる。 In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a substrate, and the material is generally glass, but a transparent resin or the like can also be used.
基板1上には、電極2が設けられている。この電極の材料としては、金、ITO、FTO等が挙げられる。電極を作成するには、このような金属を蒸着する方法が挙げられる。
電極2上には、電荷輸送高分子層3が設けられている。ここで用いられる電荷輸送高分子としては、ポリチオフェン、トリフェニルアミン、ポリアニリン、ポリピロール、フタロシアニン等が挙げられ、これらは、1種又は2種以上を選択して用いることができる。
An
On the
電荷輸送高分子層は、これら電荷輸送高分子を主成分とするが、後述する光励起有機分子を含むことが好ましい。電荷輸送高分子層中の電荷輸送高分子と光励起有機分子の量比は、同層中一定でもよいが、電極2から離れ、電極5に近づくにつれて、電荷輸送高分子の量が段階的に少なくなるような多層構造が好ましい。電荷輸送高分子層中の電荷輸送高分子に対する光励起有機分子の含有比率は、0.1〜80mol%とすることが好ましい。
The charge transport polymer layer contains these charge transport polymers as the main component, but preferably contains photoexcited organic molecules described later. The amount ratio of the charge transport polymer and the photoexcited organic molecule in the charge transport polymer layer may be constant in the same layer, but the amount of the charge transport polymer gradually decreases as the distance from the
電荷輸送高分子層を形成する方法は、重合によるが、逐次重合で電解重合とすることが好ましい。逐次重合法によれば、共有結合による高効率電子移動が可能となり、好ましい。具体的には、例えば電荷輸送高分子としてポリチオフェン(pTh)層を形成する場合、溶媒としてジクロロメタン、電解質としてテトラブチルアンモニウムヘキサフルオロホスフェート(TBAPF6)、及びビチオフェン(BITh)の混合溶液を用いて電解重合をおこなう。このとき、電位を0〜2Vで掃引(50mV/s)して電解重合反応によりpTh層を形成することが好ましい。 The method for forming the charge transporting polymer layer is based on polymerization, but it is preferable to perform sequential polymerization and electrolytic polymerization. The sequential polymerization method is preferable because it enables highly efficient electron transfer by covalent bond. Specifically, for example, when a polythiophene (pTh) layer is formed as a charge transport polymer, electrolytic polymerization is performed using a mixed solution of dichloromethane as a solvent, tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6), and bithiophene (BITh) as an electrolyte. To do. At this time, it is preferable to form a pTh layer by an electropolymerization reaction by sweeping the potential at 0 to 2 V (50 mV / s).
電荷輸送高分子層上3の上には、光励起有機分子層4が設けられている。これら両層は、化学接合させ、電荷の流れを良好にする。化学結合としては共有結合が好ましい。
A photoexcited organic
光励起有機分子層で用いられる光励起有機分子としては、ポルフィリン、フラーレン、フタロシアニン、ルテニウム錯体等が挙げられる。 Examples of the photoexcited organic molecule used in the photoexcited organic molecular layer include porphyrin, fullerene, phthalocyanine, and ruthenium complex.
光励起有機分子層は、これら光励起有機分子を主成分とするが前述の電荷輸送高分子を含むことが好ましい。光励起有機分子中の光励起有機分子と電荷輸送高分子との量比は、同層中一定でもよいが、電極2から離れ、電極5に近づくにつれて、電荷輸送高分子の量が段階的に少なくなるような多層構造が好ましい。このようにすることにより、電極5側の光励起有機分子量が増大し、電極界面とのショットキー障壁部位が増大し、電荷分離移動効率を向上させることができ、太陽電池の光電変換効率が向上する。電荷輸送高分子に対する光励起有機分子の量は、0.1〜80mol%とすることが好ましい。
The photoexcited organic molecular layer is mainly composed of these photoexcited organic molecules, but preferably contains the above-described charge transporting polymer. The quantity ratio of the photoexcited organic molecule to the charge transporting polymer in the photoexcited organic molecule may be constant in the same layer, but the amount of the charge transporting polymer decreases stepwise as the distance from the
光励起有機分子層を形成する方法は、重合によるが、逐次重合で電解重合とすることが好ましい。具体的には、例えば光励起有機分子としてポルフィリン誘導体(TThP)層を形成する場合、溶媒としてジクロロメタン、電解質としてテトラブチルアンモニウムヘキサフルオロホスフェート(TBAPF6)、及びポルフィリン誘導体(TThP)の混合溶液を用いて電解重合をおこなう。このとき、電位を0〜2Vで掃引(50mV/s)して電解重合反応によりTThP層を形成することが好ましい。このとき、ポリチオフェン(pTh)に対するポルフィリン誘導体(TThP)の相対量を増大させるために、電解重合回数を5〜40サイクルで任意に調整することができる。 The method for forming the photoexcited organic molecular layer is based on polymerization, but it is preferable to perform electrolytic polymerization by sequential polymerization. Specifically, for example, when forming a porphyrin derivative (TThP) layer as a photoexcited organic molecule, electrolysis is performed using a mixed solution of dichloromethane as a solvent, tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) as an electrolyte, and a porphyrin derivative (TThP). Polymerize. At this time, it is preferable to form a TThP layer by an electrolytic polymerization reaction by sweeping the potential at 0 to 2 V (50 mV / s). At this time, in order to increase the relative amount of the porphyrin derivative (TThP) to the polythiophene (pTh), the number of times of electrolytic polymerization can be arbitrarily adjusted in 5 to 40 cycles.
上記2つの電解重合反応時においては、反応液を表面上に流動させながら反応させることが好ましい。具体的には、反応液を攪拌させることが挙げられる。このようにすることにより、反応表面上に溶液の対流が生じ、膜の緻密化を促進させて再現性、均一性、膜強度を増加させることができ、電子又は正孔の伝導性を向上させることができる。さらに、短絡防止効果もある。反応液の流速は、0.01〜3000cm/秒が好ましく、更に、1〜300cm/秒が好ましい。また、攪拌は、スターラーの回転速度が1〜5000rpmが好ましく、特に100〜500rpmが好ましい。 At the time of the two electrolytic polymerization reactions, it is preferable that the reaction is carried out while flowing the reaction solution on the surface. Specifically, the reaction liquid can be stirred. By doing so, convection of the solution is generated on the reaction surface, and the densification of the film can be promoted, so that reproducibility, uniformity and film strength can be increased, and the conductivity of electrons or holes is improved. be able to. Furthermore, there is also a short circuit prevention effect. The flow rate of the reaction liquid is preferably 0.01 to 3000 cm / second, and more preferably 1 to 300 cm / second. The stirring is preferably performed at a stirrer rotational speed of 1 to 5000 rpm, particularly preferably 100 to 500 rpm.

1)、2)、3)を比較することで、逐次重合の効果により短絡光電流が増加していることが判る。 By comparing 1), 2) and 3), it can be seen that the short-circuit photocurrent is increased due to the effect of sequential polymerization.
[試験例1] [Test Example 1]
塩化メチレンに対し、1.50mmol/lの濃度のビチオフェンと、0.25mmol/lの濃度のテトラチエニルポルフィリンとなるようにそれぞれを溶解し、さらに0.1mmol/lの濃度になるようにテトラブチルアンモニウムヘキサフルオロリン酸を溶解させた。この溶液をナシ型フラスコに入れ、そこに電線によって外部から通電可能なITOガラスを浸漬させた。さらに対極用の白金電極と参照電極用の銀電極を液中に浸し、この溶液をフラスコ中で磁気撹拌した(攪拌は250rpmで行った)。サイクリックボルタンメトリーによってこのITOガラスの電位を自然電位から+2Vまで毎分50mVの速さで昇圧し、その後直ちに同じ速度で0Vまで降圧した。ここまでの一連の操作の再現性を確認するため、同様の製膜をさらに2回(計3回)行った。 In methylene chloride, each of bithiophene at a concentration of 1.50 mmol / l and tetrathienylporphyrin at a concentration of 0.25 mmol / l are dissolved, and tetrabutyl is further added to a concentration of 0.1 mmol / l. Ammonium hexafluorophosphoric acid was dissolved. This solution was put into a pear-shaped flask, and ITO glass that can be energized from the outside by electric wires was immersed therein. Further, a platinum electrode for a counter electrode and a silver electrode for a reference electrode were immersed in the liquid, and this solution was magnetically stirred in a flask (stirring was performed at 250 rpm). The potential of the ITO glass was increased from the natural potential to +2 V by cyclic voltammetry at a rate of 50 mV per minute, and then immediately decreased to 0 V at the same rate. In order to confirm the reproducibility of the series of operations so far, the same film formation was further performed twice (total 3 times).
得られたサイクリックボルタモグラムを図3にまとめた。これらの曲線は非常に近接しており、再現性のある製膜ができていることが分かる。また、2V時での電流値が非常に高いことから、溶液との電子のやりとりが起こりやすい膜、すなわち緻密な構造で、かつ、電解液が染みこみやすい構造の膜になっていることが分かる。 The obtained cyclic voltammograms are summarized in FIG. These curves are very close and it can be seen that a reproducible film is formed. In addition, since the current value at 2 V is very high, it can be seen that the film is easy to exchange electrons with the solution, that is, a film having a dense structure and a structure in which the electrolyte solution can easily permeate. .
[試験例2]
水に対し、0.1mmol/lの過塩素酸ナトリウムと5mmol/lのメチルビオロゲンを溶解させたものを電解液とし、白金電極を対極に、銀電極を参照電極として、白色光を照射し、実施例1で作製した高分子複合膜電極(3枚中はじめの1枚)の光電流を測定して、外部量子効率を算出した結果を図4に示す。
[Test Example 2]
A solution in which 0.1 mmol / l sodium perchlorate and 5 mmol / l methyl viologen are dissolved in water is used as an electrolyte, a platinum electrode is used as a counter electrode, and a silver electrode is used as a reference electrode. FIG. 4 shows the result of calculating the external quantum efficiency by measuring the photocurrent of the polymer composite membrane electrode (first one of the three) prepared in Example 1.
この結果から、上述の方法によって作製された高分子複合膜電極は、非常に高い外部量子効率を示すことが分かる。 From this result, it can be seen that the polymer composite membrane electrode produced by the above-described method exhibits a very high external quantum efficiency.
[比較(試験)例1]
上記の試験例1における、撹拌しながら電解重合を行うことを止めて、溶液を静止状態にし、そのまま電解重合を行った結果のサイクリックボルタモグラムを図3にまとめた(計3回)。
[Comparative (Test) Example 1]
The cyclic voltammograms of the results of the above-described Test Example 1 obtained by stopping the electrolytic polymerization while stirring and making the solution stationary and performing the electrolytic polymerization as it is are summarized in FIG. 3 (total 3 times).
この結果から、攪拌下の場合と異なり、ピーク位置や形状、2V時の電流などに大きくばらつきがあることが分かる。また、2V時の電流値が低いため、溶液との電子のやりとりが起こりにくい膜、すなわち空隙は多いが電解液が染みこみにくい膜になっていることが分かる。 From this result, it can be seen that there is a large variation in the peak position, shape, current at 2 V, and the like, unlike the case of stirring. In addition, since the current value at 2 V is low, it can be seen that the film is less likely to exchange electrons with the solution, that is, the film has a large number of voids but does not easily soak in the electrolyte.
[比較(試験)例2]
また、試験例1での光電流測定と全く同様の方法で、比較(試験)例1で作製した高分子複合膜電極(3枚中はじめの1枚)の光電流測定を行って、外部量子効率を算出した結果を図4にまとめた。
撹拌なしの場合は外部量子効率も大幅に低下することが分かる。
[Comparison (Test) Example 2]
Further, the photocurrent measurement of the polymer composite membrane electrode (first one of the three) prepared in Comparative (Test) Example 1 was performed in the same manner as the photocurrent measurement in Test Example 1, and the external quantum was measured. The results of calculating the efficiency are summarized in FIG.
It can be seen that the external quantum efficiency is greatly reduced without stirring.
本発明の太陽電池は、重合、特に逐次重合により作成されるため、共有結合による高効率電子移動が可能となる。また、光励起有機分子と電荷輸送高分子との量比を変化させることにより、電極界面とのショットキー障壁部位が増大し、電荷分離移動効率を向上させることができ、太陽電池の光電変換効率が向上する。また、反応液を表面上に流動させながら反応させることにより、反応表面上に溶液の対流が生じ、膜の緻密化を促進させて再現性、均一性、膜強度を増加させることができ、電子又は正孔の伝導性を向上させることができ、更に短絡防止効果もある。 Since the solar cell of the present invention is produced by polymerization, particularly sequential polymerization, highly efficient electron transfer by a covalent bond is possible. In addition, by changing the quantity ratio between the photoexcited organic molecule and the charge transport polymer, the Schottky barrier site with the electrode interface can be increased, the charge separation transfer efficiency can be improved, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell can be improved. improves. In addition, by reacting while allowing the reaction solution to flow on the surface, convection of the solution occurs on the reaction surface, which can promote densification of the film and increase reproducibility, uniformity, and film strength. Alternatively, the hole conductivity can be improved, and further, there is an effect of preventing a short circuit.
