Efficient and Flexible ITO‐Free Organic Solar Cells Using Highly Conductive Polymer Anodes
TLDR
Among the available BHJ systems, poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) and 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl)-propyl-1-phenyl-(6,6)C.Abstract:
Despite the relatively low efficiencyin comparison with conventional inorganic solar cells, thepotential of roll-to-roll processing and large-area processa-bility on flexible low-cost substrates renders conjugatedpolymer-based organic solar cells (OSCs) very attractive asa cost-effective solution to the problem of energy shortage.Among the available BHJ systems, poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) and 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl)-propyl-1-phenyl-(6,6)Cread more
