Cascade donor-acceptor organic ferroelectric layers, between graphene sheets, for solar cell applications
arXiv:1510.05220 · doi:10.1039/c6ra07221f
Abstract
Organic ferroelectric layers sandwiched between the graphene sheets are presented as a model of the solar cell. The investigated systems display many advantageous properties: 1) the cascade energy-levels alignment, 2) simultaneous donor and acceptor character depending on the charge-carrier direction, 3) the charge-transfer excitonic type, 4) the induced polarization of the electrodes, leading to a substantial work-function change of the anode and cathode - around +/-1.5 eV, respectively.
