| Popis: | A modified soft contact lamination (SCL) process used to fabricate polymer solar cells (PSCs) with nanostructures was developed. Instead of thermally evaporating the metal electrode directly onto the photoactive or the buffer layer, the metal electrode is firstly deposited onto an elastomeric plate made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), then laminated with a substrate coated with conducting polymer via the SCL process, which provides a non-intrusive way to introduce the metal electrode. Since the PDMS plate is compatible for soft lithography, enabling it to be constructed in a light-trapping structure to enhance the power conversion efficiency. Moreover, the architecture of our SCL-fabricated PSCs is suitable for series connecting individual cells to accumulate output voltages for targeting practical applications. |
