Abstract

The present invention provides a copolymer and an organic solar cell comprising the same.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a copolymer and an organic solar cell comprising the same. BACKGROUND ART [0002]

The present invention relates to copolymers and organic solar cells comprising the same.

Organic solar cells are devices that can convert solar energy directly into electric energy by applying photovoltaic effect. Solar cells can be divided into inorganic solar cells and organic solar cells depending on the material constituting the thin film. A typical solar cell is made of p-n junction by doping crystalline silicon (Si), which is an inorganic semiconductor. Electrons and holes generated by absorption of light are diffused to the p-n junction, accelerated by the electric field, and moved to the electrode. The power conversion efficiency of this process is defined as the ratio of the power given to the external circuit to the solar power entering the solar cell, and is achieved up to 24% when measured under the current standardized virtual solar irradiation conditions. However, since conventional inorganic solar cells have already been limited in economic efficiency and supply / demand of materials, organic semiconductor solar cells, which are easy to process, have various functions and are inexpensive, are seen as long-term alternative energy sources.

Solar cells are important to increase efficiency so that they can output as much electrical energy as possible from solar energy. In order to increase the efficiency of such a solar cell, it is also important to generate as much excitons as possible in the semiconductor, but it is also important to draw out generated charges without loss. One of the causes of loss of charge is that the generated electrons and holes are destroyed by recombination. Various methods have been proposed as methods for transferring generated electrons and holes to electrodes without loss, but most of them require additional processing, which may increase the manufacturing cost.
