GPVDM simulation of thickness effect on power conversion efficiency of PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM solar cell performance

In this research, polymer solar cells (PSC) by configuring ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM/Al changed to optimize their performance. Modifications are made by varying the thickness of each layer so as to increase the ideal thickness with optimal power conversion efficiency (PCE) value. The researchers used GPVDM software to study several power conversion efficiency (PCE) parameters of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM/Al solar cells. The results of this research show that the power conversion efficiency (PCE) can be increased by adjusting the thickness of the coating, this research showed the power conversion efficiency (PCE) was increased from 4.16% to 4.81%.
