Novel diketopyrrolopyrroles for organic photovoltaics
Hrabal, Michal ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (referee) ; Vala, Martin (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to conduct optical and photovoltaic characterization of derivatives of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) as materials suitable for fabrication of bulk heterojunction organic solar cells. The charge transfer from donor material (DPP) to acceptor material (PCBM) is studied by a quenching of fluorescence. The photovoltaic response is studied by current – voltage characteristic which can tell us crucial parameters such as shor circuit current density Jsc, open circuit voltage Voc, fill factor FF and power conversion efficiency PCE. Optical characterization was carried out for symmetrical DPP derivatives (U69 and U97) which both contained diphenylaminstilbene moiety and differed in N-alkyl group. On the other hand photovoltaic characterization was conducted for analogous but asymmetrical materials (U70 and U99). Material U29 was characterized as well but its properties proved to be very poor. Both these characterizations tell us that materials with shorter solubilization groups (U69 and U99) are more suitable candidates. Achieved PCE for U70 was 0,74 % and for U99 up to 1,39 %. From these values one can say that small molecule organic materials can be used for fabrication of solar cells.

Utilization of nanomaterials for organic electronic and photovoltaics
Flimel, Karol ; Žídek, Jan (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
The study of the new materials potentially usable for organic photovoltaic and electronics are getting very important from the point of ecological and financial view. Organic electronic devices are getting more and more popular and it is only up to us to search for the new ones that are able to improve their physical properties. The aim of this thesis is to search for materials like have been mentioned above which have very good semiconducting properties. Solutions of pure materials and its mixtures with different concentrations of fullerene have been investigated by ultra-violet spectroscopy, classical fluorescence and time resolved spectrometry. Mainly, were studied the influence of the central atom and side substituents for the optical and electronical properties of our materials of interest. With adding fullerene was observed quenching phenomena of the fluorescence, because all these new materials show usually high photoluminescence. Based on the given results, the most suitable materials had been chosen to provide trial of making organic solar cell, and therefore investigated by the mean of electric measurements (direct current).

Organic materials for molecular electronics and photonics
Vrchotová, Jana ; Cimrová, Věra (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
Organická elektronika je dynamické, rychle se rozvíjející odvětví. Studium nových materiálů pro organickou elektroniku je důležitým úkolem jak z hlediska výkonnosti budoucích zařízení a ekonomičnosti procesů, tak z hlediska vlivu jejich používání na životní prostředí. Deriváty diketopyrrolopyrrolu patří mezi zajímavé materiály, které jsou v posledních letech studovány s ohledem na využití v organické elektronice. Dizertační práce je zaměřena na studium těchto materiálů a jejich jak optickou, tak i elektrickou charakterizaci. Součástí je také zhodnocení jejich potenciální aplikace v organické elektronice a návrhy optimalizace jejich výkonu. Teoretická část práce popisuje současný stav na poli organické elektroniky zaměřený na materiály na bázi diketopyrrolopyrrolu. Následující výsledková část shrnuje podstatné výsledky práce a obsahuje stručný úvod k přiloženým publikacím, včetně zhodnocení vlastního přínosu autora k jednotlivým publikacím. Výsledková část dále sestává z 6 vědeckých publikací, které jsou nedílnou součástí této práce a jsou tematicky propojeny v oblasti organické elektroniky, nových materiálů na bázi diketopyrrolopyrrolu a jejich aplikací. Z formálního hlediska je práce na základě čl. 42 odstavce 1b Studijního a zkušebního řádu VUT koncipovaná jako tematicky uspořádaný soubor uveřejněných prací a prací přijatých k publikaci.

Advanced materials for organic photonics
Zvěřina, Libor ; Salyk, Ota (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
The theoretical part of this bachelor’s thesis deals with principles, structure and optimization of organic solar cells and properties of low-molecular advanced materials – diketopyrrolopyrroles, which are used in photovoltaics. In the experimental part six derivatives of diketopyrrolopyrrole were analysed by optical characterisation. It was found that N-substitution does not influence optical properties. Length of conjugated system showed to be the key parameter. The longer conjugation is, the smaller band gap and the greater absorption intensity are obtained. Based on the previous study, four materials were chosen to prepare solar cells. Influence of thermal annealing and gradual-annealing was studied. Current density, fill factor and photovoltaic conversion efficiency were increased by annealing. Gradual-annealing have not lead to further improvement. Finally, solar cells were optimized by 1,8-diiodooctane as an additive. It was found that effect of thermal annealing can be replaced with the additive. The best photovoltaic conversion efficiency was measured on the cell with 0,2 vol. % of additive in active bulk heterojunction.

Photogeneration of Charge Carriers in Organic Semiconductors
Heinrichová, Patricie ; Kratochvílová, Irena (referee) ; Cimrová,, Věra (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
The interest in the detail knowledge about elementary electronic processes during photogeneration of charge carriers, which allow achieving higher efficiency of organic solar cells, grows with advent of the commercial organic solar cells production. The thesis is focused on study of photogeneration of charge carriers in organic semiconductors, especially in -conjugated polymer materials. First part of the thesis summarized state of the art in studies of photogeneration of charge carriers in polymer solar cells. Subsequent experimental and results part are focused on study of polymeric solar cells prepared from electron donor polymers MDMO-PPV, Tg-PPV, PCDTBT and PCBTDPP and electron acceptor derivates of fullerenes PC60BM and PC70BM. Results of the thesis are divided in tree main parts: 1) study of charge transfer between electron donor and electron acceptor materials by optical methods, 2) study of charge transfer between electron donor and electron acceptor materials by optoelectrical methods and 3) development of organic solar cells on flexible substrates. The last part is focused largely on deposition methods of active materials thin layer.

Optimization of multilayer structures for organic electronics
Paruzel, Bartosz ; Pfleger, Jiří (advisor) ; Kalvoda, Ladislav (referee) ; Syrový, Tomáš (referee)
Organic electronic devices such as organic field effect transistors (OFETs), light- emitting diodes (OLEDs), resistive memory elements or organic solar cells have attracted an increasing attention in recent years due to the vision of a low-cost and large-scale production of printable electronics. Many papers published during the last decade focused on the intrinsic properties of organic conductors, semiconductors and dielectric materials. Since most of the devices consist of multilayer structures the mutual influence of the processes that take place in the particular layers are important for the functionality of the whole device. This work is aimed to contribute to the characterization and understanding of the mutual interactions of individual layers in the multilayer structures of organic devices. The main achievements of this work can be listed as: (i) Optimization of the thermal stability and dielectric properties of cyanoethylated polyvinylalcohol (CEPVA) high-k dielectric by the crosslinking reaction with the low molecular weight materials or mixing with a high Tg polymer. (ii) Finding possible phenomena in the CEPVA polymer dielectric that influence the charge carrier transport in the OFET active channel made of bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene organic semiconductor, using a...
