Bu çalışmada, SnO₂, TiO₂
ve ZnO şeffaf metal oksit ince filmler kullanılarak tersine çevrilmiş güneş
hücreleri üretildi. Cam/flor katkılı kalay oksit (Glass/FTO) alttaşlar ve P3HT:PCBM
polimer foto-aktif katmanı kullanılarak Cam/FTO/SnO₂/Polimer/MoO₃/Ag,
Cam/FTO/TiO₂/Polimer/MoO₃/Ag ve  Cam/FTO/ZnO/Polimer/MoO₃/Ag güneş
hücresi yapıları üretildi. Şeffaf metal oksitler püskürtme yöntemi, polimer
tabası ise dönel kaplama yöntemi kullanılarak kaplandı. Kaplama sonrası SnO₂,
TiO₂, ZnO ve  P3HT:PCBM  polimer katmanlarının yüzey morfolojileri Atomik
Kuvvet Mikroskopu (AFM) yardımı ile analiz edildi. Ayrıca, polimer katmanının
kaplama sonrasında zamana göre kuruma süreci görüntülendi. Üretilen tersine
çevrilmiş güneş hücrelerinde elektron taşıma tabakası olarak görev yapan şeffaf
metal oksitlerin güneş hücrelerinin fotovoltaik performansına etkileri AM 1.5 Güneş
altına incelendi ve püskürtme yöntemi ile kaplanan SnO₂, TiO₂
ve ZnO tabakalarına sahip hücrelerin güç dönüşüm verimlilikleri sırayla %1.62,
%2.78 ve %3.32 olarak ölçüldü.

Production and Characterization of P3HT:PCBM Photoactive Layer Based Inverted Polymer Solar Cells

Öz

In this study,
inverted polimer solar cells were produced by using transparent metal oxides of
SnO₂, TiO₂ ve ZnO thin films. The solar cell structures
of Glass/FTO/SnO₂/Polymer/MoO₃/Ag, Glass/FTO/TiO₂/Polymer/MoO₃/Ag
and Glass/FTO/ZnO/Polymer/MoO₃/Ag were produced by using Glass/fluorine
doped tin oxide (Glass/FTO) substrates and P3HT:PCBM polymer photoactive layer.
A sputterring system was used to coat the transparent metal oxides and a spin
coating system was used to deposit polymer layer.  The surface morphologies of  SnO₂,
TiO₂, ZnO and P3HT:PCBM polymer
layers analyzed by Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). Moreover, the drying process
of the polymer layer over time after coating was pictured. The effects of
transparent metal oxides as electron transport layer on photovoltaic
performance of produced inverted polimer solar cells under AM 1.5 solar
illumination was examined and the power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of cells
wıth SnO₂, TiO₂ and ZnO layers were measured as 1.62%,
2.78% and 3.32%, respectively.
