The power conversion efficiency of CuMePc/C60 OPV cell (2.52%) is increased by 88% compared with that of the non-peripheral substituted copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/C60 OPV cell (1.34%). The introduction of methyl substituent leads to stronger π–π interaction of CuMePc (~ 3.5 ?) than that of CuPc (~ 3.8 ?). The efficiency improvement is attributed to the enhanced carrier mobility of CuMePc thin film (1.1×10-3 cm2/V·s) and better film morphology by introducing methyl groups into the periphery of CuPc molecule.展开更多
