Silver nanowire-polymer composite electrodes for efficient polymer solar cells

Yu, Zhibin, Li, Lu, Zhang, Qingwu, Hu, Weili, Pei, Qibing·2011·Advanced Materials

Abstract

Polymer solar cells are fabricated on a silver nanowire-polymer composite electrode. The power conversion efficiency based on a blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is comparable to control devices with indium tin oxide (ITO)–glass electrodes. The devices are highly flexible and can be bent to a maximum 8% strain with negligible damage to device efficiency.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Short Ag NWrs (length 4-10 μm) led to devices with high fill factor as a consequence of high surface coverage of the nanowires, but with a low photo-current due to the loss of transmittance.

    “Short Ag NWrs (length of 4-10 l m) led to the production of devices with high fill factor (FF) as a consequence of the high surface coverage of the nanowires, but with a low photo-current due to the loss of transmittance.”
  • Using long Ag NWrs (length above 20 μm) the devices had high photo-current but lower FF.

    “In contrast, using long Ag NWrs (length above 20 l m) the devices had high photo-current but lower FF.”
  • The produced Ag NWrs-polymethacrylate nanocomposite electrodes were highly flexible and could be bent to a maximum 8% tensile strain.

    “The produced Ag NWrs-polymethacrylate nanocomposite electrodes were defined as highly flexible and could be bent to a maximum 8% tensile strain.”
  • SMC containing a stack of short and long NWrs (high photo-current and FF) possessed around 3.3% power conversion efficiency similar to control devices on ITO/glass substrates.

    “SMC containing a stack of short and long NWrs (high photo-current and FF) possessed around 3.3% power conversion efficiency which is similar to control devices on ITO/glass substrates.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
