| Popis: | We demonstrate a pathway for fully roll-to-roll (R2R) prepared organic solar cells in a normal geometry with a R2R sputtered aluminium top electrode. Initial attempts utilizing a stack geometry without an electron transport layer (ETL) failed to obtain working devices. By applying aluminium zinc oxide (AZO) as an ETL, and optimizing the AZO thickness, working printed OPV devices with an efficiency of 0.58% were obtained. Further optimization of the donor:acceptor ratio in the active layer increased the efficiency to 0.90%. This work demonstrates that normal geometry organic solar cells using a metal top contact can be produced using large scale production techniques. |
