Abstract

Language:

Good conductivity, suitable transparency, and uniform layers of graphene thin film can be produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at low temperature and utilized as a transparent electrode in organic photovoltaics. Using chlorobenzene trapped in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer as the carbon source, a growth temperature (T growth) of 600 °C at a hydrogen (H2) flow of 75 standard cubic centimeters per minute (sccm) was used to prepare graphene films. The resulting films exhibited beneficial properties conducive for use in organic photovoltaic applications, demonstrating enhanced conductivity and transparency, which are critical for improving device efficiency. This research explores the scalability and applicability of low-temperature CVD-grown graphene as a viable alternative to traditional electrode materials in the context of sustainable energy technologies. Additionally, stability and operational efficiency considerations were addressed, further validating the suitability of these graphene thin films in the evolving landscape of organic electronics. The findings underscore the potential for integrating low-temperature CVD methods for producing high-quality graphene films in commercial organic photovoltaic devices.
