What is dielectric constant ()?

Dielectric constant ( ε) is an important parameter affecting the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells (OSC).

Do dielectric properties affect photovoltaic efficiencies in organic solar cells?

The fill factor (FF) of organic solar cells (OSCs), a critically important photovoltaic parameter, is still sub-optimal, often less than 0.8. To further reduce the FF gaps with regard to the Shockley-Queisser upper limit, we present a study unveiling the impacts of dielectric properties on obtaining high FFs and photovoltaic efficiencies in OSCs.

How many regions are there in a dielectric constant?

The real part of the dielectric constant can be divided into three regions (Fig. 1c): a low-frequency region (<1 Hz, marked as A), a moderate-frequency region (1–10 4 Hz, marked as B), and a high-frequency region (>10 4 Hz, marked as C).

Does dielectric response affect defect capturing probability?

Here, we demonstrate that the defect capturing probability estimated by the capture cross-section is decreased by varying the dielectric response, producing the dielectric screening effect in the perovskite. The resulting perovskites also show reduced surface recombination and a weaker electron-phonon coupling.

How does dielectric constant affect defect screening?

Changes in the localized electric fields by the variation in the dielectric constant will lead to defect screening, which can mitigate the adverse effects of pristine unoccupied defects in the films.

Does enlargement of dielectric constant reduce charge recombination loss?

Based on this investigation, we deem that increasing the charge collection efficiency and reducing the dependence of PC on E are highly favorable for increasing FF, which is afforded by the enlargement of the dielectric constant with appropriate phase separation in the blends to suppress charge recombination loss. 37,38
