The degradation of sexithiophene cascade organic solar cells is studied. Glass–glass encapsulated devices on indium tin oxide as transparent electrode show efficiencies of 6.6% and degrade within 500 h in illuminated 38 °C/50% RH climate. Fully flexible devices with silver nanowire electrode and alumina barrier achieve 5% efficiency and degrade within 30 h due to electrode failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
