Abstract
- Abstract: We investigate various electrode combinations of bottom and top contacts for organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Silver (Ag), indium tin oxide (ITO), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), and silver nanowires (AgNW) are used as bottom electrodes. As top electrodes, thin silver layers (t-Ag) and free-standing carbon nanotube (f-CNT) sheets are employed. The manufactured zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc): fullerene C60 small molecule bulk heterojunction OPV cells with different kinds of bottom electrodes show efficiencies of 1.9∼2.2% and 1.1∼1.5%, when comprised of t-Ag and f-CNT top contacts, respectively. We demonstrate alternative electrodes beyond ITO, silver, and aluminum, which can be readily used for organic photovoltaics technology. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
