Accurate efficiency determination and stability studies of conjugated polymer/fullerene solar cells
Open accessAbstract
We report on an accurate indoor determination of the power conversion efficiency under standard test conditions [1000 W/m2, AM1.5 global (IEC 904-3), 25°C] for an organic photovoltaic device based on a bulk heterojunction of a conjugated polymer and a methanofullerene. AM1.5 efficiencies up to 2.55% are achieved for cell areas ≤1.0 cm2. Systematic stability studies on encapsulated laboratory cells show that both thermal stress and visible light soaking leads to strong degradation of the cells. Degradation mechanisms have not yet been clearly identified. Morphological changes in the photoactive layer after thermal treatment as well as photochemical degradation of the polymers upon prolonged irradiation seem to have detrimental effects on the cell stability.

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.
