Organic Solar Cells Using Nanoimprinted Transparent Metal Electrodes

摘要

Cost effective and highly efficient renewable energy is becoming ever more important in our age of rising energy prices and global climate change. Solar energy is a non-exhaustible and green energy. Organic solar cells (OSC) have the merits of low cost and simplistic fabrication in addition to compatibility with flexible plastic substrates over large areas. They have therefore been considered a promising energy conversion platform for clean and carbon-neutral energy production. In recent years, the power conversion efficiency of OSCs based on conjugated polymers has steadily increased through improved energy harvesting, enhanced exciton separation in improved device structures, and optimization of processing parameters, e.g., solvent evaporation time, and annealing conditions.
