Compared to bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs) prepared by the blend casting in “one step process”, sequential deposition (SD) processed OSCs can realize an ideal profile of vertical component distribution due to the swelling of polymer films.
High-speed deposition of organic solar cells is crucial to manufacturing, yet it remains a challenge. Now, Sun et al. show that layer-by-layer deposition holds potential for speeding up the fabrication of solar cells while retaining high efficiency.
We also highlight some key research directions that can help enhance the efficiency and stability of LBL OSCs for their potential applications in the future. Layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition using solution processing is a promising technique for fabricating organic solar cells (OSCs) with high efficiency and stability.
Therefore, it is important to develop materials or processing methods that enabled highly efficient organic solar cells processed by halogen free solvents. In this paper, we report an innovative processing method named auxiliary sequential deposition that enables 19%-efficiency organic solar cells processed by halogen free solvents.
Organic solar cells (OSCs) have seen great progress in power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) recently. However, morphology tuning of the active layer remains challenging toward 20% mark. Layer-by-layer (LBL) approach is a newer way to tune morphology and achieve phase separation vertically.
The commercialization of organic solar cells (OSCs) encompasses overcoming hurdles related to efficiency, stability, cost, and complexity of device fabrication techniques. The elaborate sequential deposition (SD) process for fabricating charge-transport and photoactive layers stands out as a critical challenge.
