Dear colleagues,
I am interesting in simulation and modelization of C60 charge carriers transport and thier proprieties.
For this reason I would know which kind of doping materials is the best for C60 PN junction?
Thank you!
In the early work, the best electron donor is copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) that mixes with electron acceptor C60 used as an active layer of small molecule organic solar cells. With the development of organic solar cells, more electron donor materials are synthesized. For theoretical modelling, i would suggest the starting point is to use well studied materials for organic solar cells. You could easily find the parameters from publications in your model. Hope it helps.
Another classic is PCBM ([6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester). This compound has already been used in fullerene-based solar cells that were commercially available. [Disclaimer: they are no longer, Heliatek is now selling fullerene-free organic solar cells.]
Thank you!
So in your point of view I need to use another organic semiconductor to get PN junction (heterojunction). Could we can get homojunction from C60?
Hi, Mebarka,
You need to have electron donor materials such as CuPc or ZnPc along with C60 to make a PN junction solar cells.
Hope it helps.

Xuhua Wang Dear Xuhua, how to bond NiFe nanoparticles to fullerenes?
what is your prefered route to functionalization of fullerenes in this ca se?
