Resonance phenomena and impact resistance performance of the organic solar cell under external environmental loading

Abstract

An organic solar cell is a kind of photovoltaic cell that uses organic electronics, a branch of electronics that presents small organic molecules of conductive organic polymers for charge transport and light absorption until a photovoltaic effect produces electricity from sunlight. Regarding this, a computer simulation is presented to analyze the resonance analysis and dynamic stability of the organic solar cell. For simulating the size effects, the nonlocal strain gradient theory that adds some terms to the displacement and time terms of governing equations is presented. As the first step, the Navier method is applied as the analytical solver of the governing differential equations developed on the foundations to find the dynamics of the design points. The accuracy of the first step is tested and validated by a comparison study with those recorded in the high-quality papers. The results show that viscoelastic foundation, size-dependent parameter, and geometrical parameters can have a marvelous influence on the stability and dynamic deflection of the organic solar cells. The most relevant result is that the effect of size-dependent parameters on the dynamics of the organic cell is more remarkable at the higher value of the thickness of the cell.
