Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study the optical and electrical characteristics of a single‐junction solar cell based on a green-color dye Vanadyl 2,9,16, 23-tetraphenoxy-29H, 31H-phthalocyanine (VOPcPhO). The use of soluble vanadyl phthalocyanine derivative makes it very attractive for photovoltaic applications due to its tunable properties and high solubility. Design/methodology/approach: A photoactive layer of VOPcPhO has been sandwiched between indium tin oxide (ITO) and aluminum (Al) electrodes to produce ITO/PEDOT:PSS/VOPcPhO/Al photovoltaic device. The VOPcPhO thin film is deposited by a simple spin coating technique. In order to obtain the optimal thickness for the solar cell device, different thicknesses …

Pi-conjugated organic semiconductors have long been used as either holes or electrons transport materials. Recently ambipolar charge carrier transport in these materials have been reported in many investigations. In this paper, we report on the basis of experimental results that the organic semiconductor (donor/acceptor) materials can be as good electrons transporters as these materials are holes transporters. In our study, the solution-processed unipolar diodes based on organic materials P3HT, VOPCPhO and their blends with PCBM have been fabricated. The I-V characteristics of these diodes have been analyzed in the space charge limited current regime. The values of the electron and …
