Description
本発明は、エネルギー変換効率の高い光電変換素子を、安定的かつ簡便に製造することができる光電変換素子用材料、該光電変換素子用材料を用いた光電変換素子の製造方法、及び、該光電変換素子用材料を用いてなる光電変換素子に関する。 The present invention provides a photoelectric conversion element material capable of stably and simply producing a photoelectric conversion element having high energy conversion efficiency, a method for producing a photoelectric conversion element using the photoelectric conversion element material, and the photoelectric conversion element. The present invention relates to a photoelectric conversion element using a conversion element material.
従来から、有機半導体層と無機半導体層とを積層し、この積層体の両側に電極を設けた光電変換素子が開発されている。このような構造の光電変換素子では、光励起により有機半導体層で光キャリア（電子−ホール対）が生成し、電子が無機半導体層を、ホールが有機半導体層を移動することで、電界が生じる。しかしながら、有機半導体層のうち、光キャリア生成に活性な領域は無機半導体層との接合界面付近の数十ｎｍ程度と非常に狭く、この活性な領域以外の有機半導体層は光キャリア生成に寄与できないため、光電変換素子として、エネルギー変換効率が低くなってしまうという欠点があった。 Conventionally, a photoelectric conversion element in which an organic semiconductor layer and an inorganic semiconductor layer are stacked and electrodes are provided on both sides of the stacked body has been developed. In the photoelectric conversion element having such a structure, photocarriers (electron-hole pairs) are generated in the organic semiconductor layer by photoexcitation, and an electric field is generated by electrons moving through the inorganic semiconductor layer and holes moving through the organic semiconductor layer. However, in the organic semiconductor layer, the active region for generating photocarriers is very narrow, about several tens of nanometers near the junction interface with the inorganic semiconductor layer, and organic semiconductor layers other than this active region cannot contribute to the generation of photocarriers. Therefore, the photoelectric conversion element has a drawback that the energy conversion efficiency is lowered.
この問題を解決する目的で、有機半導体と、無機半導体とを混合して複合化した複合膜を用いることが検討されている。
例えば、特許文献１には、有機半導体と無機半導体を共蒸着によって複合化した共蒸着薄膜と、この薄膜を挟んでその両面に設けられ、この複合薄膜に内蔵電界を与えるための半導体もしくは金属、又はそれら双方からなる電極部とを備えた有機・無機複合薄膜太陽電池が記載されている。特許文献１には、同文献に記載の有機・無機複合薄膜においては、ｐｎ接合（有機／無機半導体接合）が膜全体に張り巡らされた構造のため、膜全体が光キャリア生成に対して活性に働き、膜で吸収された光すべてがキャリア生成に寄与するため、大きな光電流が得られる効果がある旨が記載されている。In order to solve this problem, it has been studied to use a composite film in which an organic semiconductor and an inorganic semiconductor are mixed to form a composite.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a co-deposited thin film in which an organic semiconductor and an inorganic semiconductor are combined by co-evaporation, and a semiconductor or metal for providing a built-in electric field to the composite thin film provided on both sides of the thin film, Or the organic-inorganic composite thin film solar cell provided with the electrode part which consists of both of them is described. In Patent Document 1, the organic / inorganic composite thin film described in the same document has a structure in which a pn junction (organic / inorganic semiconductor junction) is stretched over the entire film, so that the entire film is active against photocarrier generation. It is described that since all the light absorbed by the film contributes to carrier generation, a large photocurrent can be obtained.
また、有機半導体に対して無機半導体を密充填させて、エネルギー変換効率を向上させる試みもなされている。
例えば、特許文献２には、有機電子供与体と化合物半導体結晶とを含有する活性層を二つの電極の間に設けた有機太陽電池において、前記活性層は有機電子供与体と化合物半導体結晶とを混合して分散してなり、且つ、化合物半導体結晶が平均粒径が異なる二種類のロッド状の結晶を含み、この二種類のロッド状結晶の平均粒径及び含有比率を所定範囲内とする有機太陽電池が記載されている。特許文献２には、活性層中における化合物半導体結晶の充填率を増大することができ、これにより変換効率の高い太陽電池を得ることができる旨が記載されている。Attempts have also been made to improve energy conversion efficiency by closely packing an inorganic semiconductor with an organic semiconductor.
For example, in Patent Document 2, in an organic solar cell in which an active layer containing an organic electron donor and a compound semiconductor crystal is provided between two electrodes, the active layer includes an organic electron donor and a compound semiconductor crystal. An organic compound that is mixed and dispersed, and the compound semiconductor crystal includes two types of rod-shaped crystals having different average particle sizes, and the average particle size and content ratio of the two types of rod-shaped crystals are within a predetermined range. A solar cell is described. Patent Document 2 describes that the filling rate of the compound semiconductor crystal in the active layer can be increased, and thereby a solar cell with high conversion efficiency can be obtained.
しかしながら、特許文献１又は２に記載の光電変換素子であっても未だエネルギー変換効率はかなり低く、実用化に耐えうる有機太陽電池の開発のためには更なるエネルギー変換効率の改善が不可欠である。 However, even in the photoelectric conversion element described in Patent Document 1 or 2, the energy conversion efficiency is still very low, and further improvement of the energy conversion efficiency is indispensable for the development of an organic solar cell that can withstand practical use. .
本発明者は、有機半導体化合物中に、平均粒子径がｎｍオーダーの無機半導体化合物微粒子を分散させることにより、有機半導体化合物中に無機半導体化合物を密充填させれば高いエネルギー変換効率を実現できると考えた。しかしながら、有機半導体化合物と無機半導体化合物とは親和性が低く、無機半導体化合物微粒子が凝集してしまうことから、期待したような高いエネルギー変換効率を実現することはできなかった。無機半導体化合物微粒子を凝集させることなく微分散させる方法として分散剤の使用も検討したが、分散剤を加えることにより更にエネルギー変換効率が低下してしまうという問題があった。 The present inventor can realize high energy conversion efficiency by dispersing inorganic semiconductor compound fine particles having an average particle diameter of the order of nm in the organic semiconductor compound so that the inorganic semiconductor compound is closely packed in the organic semiconductor compound. Thought. However, the organic semiconductor compound and the inorganic semiconductor compound have low affinity, and the inorganic semiconductor compound fine particles are aggregated. Therefore, the high energy conversion efficiency as expected could not be realized. The use of a dispersant as a method of finely dispersing inorganic semiconductor compound fine particles without agglomeration was also examined, but there was a problem that the energy conversion efficiency was further reduced by adding the dispersant.
本発明は、エネルギー変換効率の高い光電変換素子を、安定的かつ簡便に製造することができる光電変換素子用材料、該光電変換素子用材料を用いた光電変換素子の製造方法、及び、該光電変換素子用材料を用いてなる光電変換素子を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention provides a photoelectric conversion element material capable of stably and simply producing a photoelectric conversion element having high energy conversion efficiency, a method for producing a photoelectric conversion element using the photoelectric conversion element material, and the photoelectric conversion element. It aims at providing the photoelectric conversion element which uses the material for conversion elements.

以下に本発明を詳述する。The present invention contains an organic semiconductor compound, inorganic semiconductor compound fine particles, and an organic solvent, and the organic semiconductor compound is a material for a photoelectric conversion element having a polar group.
The present invention is described in detail below.
本発明者は、鋭意検討の結果、極性基を有する有機半導体化合物を用いることにより、平均粒子径がｎｍオーダーであっても無機半導体化合物微粒子を凝集させることなく微分散させることが可能であることを見出した。これは、有機半導体化合物が極性基を有することにより、有機半導体化合物と無機半導体化合物微粒子との親和性が向上し、有機半導体化合物自体が一種の分散剤として機能し得るためであると考えられる。このようにして光電変換素子用材料中に無機半導体化合物微粒子を微分散させることにより、高いエネルギー変換効率を実現した光電変換素子を製造できる。 As a result of intensive studies, the present inventor is able to finely disperse the inorganic semiconductor compound fine particles without aggregating even if the average particle diameter is on the order of nm by using an organic semiconductor compound having a polar group. I found. This is probably because the organic semiconductor compound has a polar group, whereby the affinity between the organic semiconductor compound and the inorganic semiconductor compound fine particles is improved, and the organic semiconductor compound itself can function as a kind of dispersant. Thus, the photoelectric conversion element which implement | achieved high energy conversion efficiency can be manufactured by finely dispersing inorganic semiconductor compound fine particles in the material for photoelectric conversion elements.

By having the donor and acceptor which the said organic-semiconductor compound further conjugates, the photoelectric conversion element which implement | achieved high energy conversion efficiency can be manufactured. As such an organic semiconductor compound, for example, a low molecular compound having a polar group and having a donor and an acceptor conjugated in one molecule, a segment and an acceptor having a polar group and serving as a conjugated donor And a conductive polymer compound having a segment.

That is, the donor has a high value in both the HOMO and LUMO levels relative to the acceptor. On the contrary, the acceptor has a low value for both the HOMO and LUMO levels relative to the donor.
Moreover, that the donor and the acceptor are conjugated means that the donor site and the acceptor site are bonded via a conjugated bond.
上記極性基を有し、かつ、１分子内に共役するドナーとアクセプターとを有する低分子化合物においてドナーとして機能し得る構造は、例えば、チオフェン、フルオレン、カルバゾール、フェニレンビニレン、クマリン、インドリン等の骨格が挙げられる。なかでも、導電性に優れ、高いエネルギー変換効率を得やすいことから、チオフェン骨格が好適である。
上記チオフェン骨格としては、例えば、アルキルチオフェン、アルコキシチオフェン、チエノチオフェン、ジチエノチオフェン、エチレンジオキシチオフェン、シクロペンタジチオフェン、ジチエノシロール等の骨格が挙げられる。The structure capable of functioning as a donor in a low molecular compound having a polar group and having a donor and an acceptor conjugated in one molecule is, for example, a skeleton such as thiophene, fluorene, carbazole, phenylene vinylene, coumarin, and indoline. Is mentioned. Among these, a thiophene skeleton is preferable because of its excellent conductivity and high energy conversion efficiency.
Examples of the thiophene skeleton include skeletons such as alkylthiophene, alkoxythiophene, thienothiophene, dithienothiophene, ethylenedioxythiophene, cyclopentadithiophene, and dithienosilole.
上記極性基を有し、かつ、１分子内に共役するドナーとアクセプターとを有する低分子化合物においてアクセプターとして機能し得る構造は、ドナーとして機能する構造に比べて相対的に小さい値のＨＯＭＯ、ＬＵＭＯ準位を有するものであれば特に限定されないが、例えば、チエノチオフェン、ジチエノチオフェン、ベンゾチアジアゾール、ベンゾビスチアジアゾール、チエノピラジン等の骨格が好ましい。 A structure that can function as an acceptor in a low-molecular compound having a polar group and having a donor and an acceptor conjugated in one molecule has a relatively small value of HOMO and LUMO compared to a structure that functions as a donor.

上記極性基を有し、かつ、１分子内に共役するドナーとアクセプターとを有する低分子化合物は、分子内に複素環状骨格を有することが好ましい。複素環状骨格を有することにより分子同士の配向性が向上し、電荷移動度が向上する。更に配向性を向上させるには、硫黄元素を含有する複素環状骨格を有することがより好ましく、硫黄元素を含有する複素環状骨格を２つ以上有することが更に好ましい。 The low molecular compound having a polar group and having a donor and an acceptor conjugated in one molecule preferably has a heterocyclic skeleton in the molecule. By having a heterocyclic skeleton, orientation between molecules is improved and charge mobility is improved. In order to further improve the orientation, it is more preferable to have a heterocyclic skeleton containing a sulfur element, and it is more preferable to have two or more heterocyclic skeletons containing a sulfur element.
上記極性基を有し、かつ、１分子内に共役するドナーとアクセプターとを有する低分子化合物は、具体的には例えば、下記式（１）、下記式（２）又は下記式（３）で表される有機半導体化合物が挙げられる。 Specific examples of the low molecular compound having the polar group and having a donor and an acceptor conjugated in one molecule are represented by the following formula (1), the following formula (2), or the following formula (3). The organic-semiconductor compound represented is mentioned.
上記式（１）で表される有機半導体化合物は、極性基としてカルボキシル基を有し、かつ、クマリン誘導体がドナーとして、シアノ基含有チオフェン誘導体構造がアクセプターとして共役している構造を有する。
上記式（１）で表される有機半導体化合物の市販品は、例えば、林原生物化学研究所社製のＮＫＸ−２５８７が挙げられる。The organic semiconductor compound represented by the above formula (1) has a carboxyl group as a polar group, a coumarin derivative as a donor, and a cyano group-containing thiophene derivative structure as a acceptor.
As for the commercial item of the organic-semiconductor compound represented by the said Formula (1), NKX-2587 by Hayashibara Biochemical Research Institute company is mentioned, for example.

上記式（２）で表される有機半導体化合物の市販品は、例えば、三菱製紙社製のＤ−１４９が挙げられる。The organic semiconductor compound represented by the above formula (2) has a carbonyl group and a carboxyl group as polar groups, a structure in which an indoline derivative structure is conjugated as a donor, and a thiazole derivative is conjugated as an acceptor.
As for the commercial item of the organic-semiconductor compound represented by the said Formula (2), D-149 by Mitsubishi Paper Industries is mentioned, for example.
上記式（３）で表される有機半導体化合物は、極性基としてカルボキシル基を有し、かつ、カルバゾール構造がドナーとして、シアノ基含有チオフェン誘導体構造がアクセプターとして共役している構造を有する。
上記式（３）で表される有機半導体化合物の市販品は、例えば、綜研化学社製のＳＫ−ＩＩが挙げられる。The organic semiconductor compound represented by the above formula (3) has a carboxyl group as a polar group, a carbazole structure as a donor, and a cyano group-containing thiophene derivative structure as a acceptor.
Examples of commercially available organic semiconductor compounds represented by the above formula (3) include SK-II manufactured by Soken Chemical Co., Ltd.
上記極性基を有し、かつ、共役するドナーとなるセグメントとアクセプターとなるセグメントとを有する導電性高分子化合物は、ドナーとなるセグメントとアクセプターとなるセグメントとを繰り返し単位として構成される高分子化合物である。上記有機半導体化合物をこのような構造とすることにより、幅広い範囲の波長の光を吸収できるエネルギー変換効率の極めて高い光電変換素子を製造することができる。
なお、導電性高分子化合物が極性基を有するとは、導電性高分子化合物が側鎖に極性基を含有する官能基を有することを意味する。The conductive polymer compound having a polar group and a conjugated donor segment and an acceptor segment is a polymer compound composed of a donor segment and an acceptor segment as a repeating unit. It is. By setting the organic semiconductor compound to such a structure, a photoelectric conversion element with extremely high energy conversion efficiency capable of absorbing light in a wide range of wavelengths can be manufactured.
In addition, that a conductive polymer compound has a polar group means that a conductive polymer compound has a functional group containing a polar group in a side chain.
上記ドナーとなるセグメントと上記アクセプターとなるセグメントとの比率（ドナーとなるセグメント：アクセプターとなるセグメント）は、７：１〜１：２であることが好ましい。上記範囲よりもドナーとなるセグメントの割合が多くなると、長波長の光の吸収が低下してしまうことがある。上記範囲よりもアクセプターとなるセグメントの割合が多くなると、電荷移動度が低下し、光電変換素子の性能が低下することがある。上記ドナーとなるセグメントと上記アクセプターとなるセグメントとの比率のより好ましい下限は５：１、より好ましい上限は１：１である。 The ratio of the donor segment to the acceptor segment (the donor segment: acceptor segment) is preferably 7: 1 to 1: 2. If the proportion of the segment serving as a donor is larger than the above range, the absorption of light having a long wavelength may be reduced. If the proportion of the segment serving as an acceptor is larger than the above range, the charge mobility may be lowered, and the performance of the photoelectric conversion element may be lowered.
