Optimization of PEDOT: PSS thin film for organic solar cell application

As a clean and renewable energy source, the development of the organics solar cells is very promising due to the inorganic solar cell inconvenient production process and material shortness. In this work, P3HT: PCBM bulk-heterojunction devices were produced by spin coating organic layers onto I...

In this work, P3HT: PCBM bulk-heterojunction devices were produced by spin coating organic layers onto ITO coated glass in air, and deposited it with an Au layer as top metal electrode.
