High efficiency air stable organic photovoltaics with an aqueous inorganic contact

Nanoscale. 2015 Sep 14;7(34):14241-7. doi: 10.1039/c5nr01239b.

Abstract

We report a ZnO interfacial layer based on an environmentally friendly aqueous precursor for organic photovoltaics. Inverted PCDTBT devices based on this precursor show power conversion efficiencies of 6.8-7%. Unencapsulated devices stored in air display prolonged lifetimes extending over 200 hours with less than 20% drop in efficiency compared to devices based on the standard architecture.
