Detailed Description

Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail, and can be easily performed by a person having ordinary knowledge in the related art. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

In the drawings, the thickness of layers, films, panels, regions, etc. have been exaggerated for clarity.

It will be understood that when an element such as a layer, film, region or substrate is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there are no intervening elements present.

In the drawings, portions irrelevant to the description are omitted for clarity of the embodiment, and the same or similar constituent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the specification.

Hereinafter, "combination" includes two or more kinds of mutually substituted mixtures, and a laminated structure of two or more kinds.

As used herein, "substituted" when a specific definition is not otherwise provided means that the hydrogen of a compound or functional group is replaced with a substituent selected from the group consisting of: a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, a nitro group, a cyano group, an amino group, an azido group, an amidino group, a hydrazine group, a hydrazone group, a carbonyl group, a carbamoyl group, a thiol group, an ester group, a carboxyl group or a salt thereof, a sulfonic acid group or a salt thereof, a phosphoric acid group or a salt thereof, a silyl group, a C1 to C20 alkyl group, a C2 to C20 alkenyl group, a C2 to C20 alkynyl group, a C6 to C30 aryl group, a C7 to C30 arylalkyl group, a C1 to C30 alkoxy group, a C1 to C20 heteroalkyl group, a C3 to C20 heteroaryl group, a C3 to C20 heteroaryl group, a C3 to C30 cycloalkyl group, a C3 to C15 cycloalkenyl group, a C6 to C15 cycloalkynyl group, a C3 to C30 heterocycloalkyl group, and a combination thereof.

Further, when the words "substantially" and "substantially" are used with respect to a geometric shape, it is intended that the precision of the geometric shape is not required, but that the tolerances (limits) for the shape are within the scope of the present disclosure. Further, whether a value or shape is modified to be "about" or "substantially," it is to be understood that such values and shapes are to be interpreted as including manufacturing or operating tolerances (e.g., ± 10%) around the value or shape.

The expression "at least one of" when preceding or following a list of elements (e.g., A, B and C) modifies the entire list of elements and does not modify individual elements of the list. For example, "at least one of A, B and C", "at least one of A, B or C", "one of A, B, C or a combination thereof", and "one of A, B, C and a combination thereof", respectively, can be construed to encompass any of the following: a; b; a and B; a and C; b and C; and A, B and C.

Referring to fig. 1, an optoelectronic device 100 according to some embodiments includes a first electrode 10 and a second electrode 20 facing each other and a photoactive layer 30 between the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20.

A substrate (not shown) may be disposed at one side of the first electrode 10 or the second electrode 20. The substrate may be made of (e.g., may include, at least in part): inorganic materials such as glass; organic materials such as polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polyamide, polyether sulfone, or a combination thereof; or a silicon wafer. The substrate may be omitted.

At least one of the first electrode 10 or the second electrode 20 may be a light-transmitting electrode, and the light-transmitting electrode may be made of, for example: conductive oxides such as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO), zinc oxide (ZnO), tin oxide (SnO)2) Aluminum tin oxide (AlTO) and/or fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO); or a single or multiple thin layers of metal. When one of the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20 is a non-light-transmitting electrode, it may be made of, for example, an opaque conductor such as aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), or gold (Au). For example, the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20 may all be light-transmitting electrodes. For example, the second powerThe pole 20 may be a light receiving electrode disposed on the light receiving side.

Photoactive layer 30 includes an infrared absorbing composition that includes the above-described p-type semiconductor compound and n-type semiconductor compound.

The photoactive layer 30 is a layer (intrinsic layer, I layer) in which a p-type semiconductor compound and an n-type semiconductor compound form a pn junction, and excitons can be generated by: receives light from the outside (e.g., the outside of the photoactive layer 30), and then separates holes and electrons from the generated excitons.

In addition to the intrinsic layer, the photoactive layer 30 may further include a p-type layer and/or an n-type layer. The p-type layer may include a p-type semiconductor compound, and the n-type layer may include an n-type semiconductor compound.

The photovoltaic device is shown in fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an optoelectronic device according to some embodiments.

Referring to fig. 2, an optoelectronic device 100' according to the present embodiment includes a first electrode 10 and a second electrode 20 facing each other and a photoactive layer 30 between the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20, like the above-described embodiments.

However, unlike the above-described embodiment, the photoelectric device 100' according to the present embodiment further includes charge assist layers 40 and 45 between the first electrode 10 and the photoactive layer 30 and between the second electrode 20 and the photoactive layer 30, respectively.

The photoelectric devices 100 and 100' may further include an anti-reflection layer (not shown) on one surface of the first electrode 10 or the second electrode 20. The antireflection layer is provided at the light incident side, and reduces the reflectance of light of incident light, and thus light absorption is further improved. For example, when light enters from the first electrode 10, an anti-reflection layer may be disposed on the first electrode 10, and when light enters from the second electrode 20, an anti-reflection layer may be disposed under the second electrode 20.

The anti-reflective layer may include, for example, a material having a refractive index of about 1.6 to about 2.5, and may include, for example, at least one of a metal oxide, a semi-metal oxide, a metal sulfide, and an organic material having a refractive index within the range.
