Solution-Processed MoO3 Thin Films As a Hole-Injection Layer for Organic Solar Cells

TL;DR: The solution-processed MoO (3) (sMoO(3)) films are demonstrated to have equal performance to hole-injection layers composed of either PEDOT:PSS or thermally evaporated MoO( 3) (eMo O(3)), and the annealing temperature at which the sol-gel layer begins to work is consistent with the thermodynamic analysis of the process.

A roll-to-roll process to flexible polymer solar cells: model studies, manufacture and operational stability studies

TL;DR: In this article, an inverted polymer solar cell geometry comprising a total of five layers was optimized using laboratory scale cells and the operational stability was studied under model atmospheres, where the inverted devices were compared to model devices with a normal geometry where the order of the layers was substrate-ITO-PEDOT:PSS-(active layer)-aluminium.
