Highly efficient inverted polymer solar cell by low temperature annealing of Cs2CO3 interlayer
Abstract
We demonstrate a highly efficient inverted bulk heterojunction polymer solar cell based on regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester with a low temperature annealed interfacial buffer layer, cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3). This approach improves the power conversion efficiency of the inverted cell from 2.3% to 4.2%, with short-circuit current of 11.17mA∕cm2, open-circuit voltage of 0.59V, and fill factor of 63% under AM1.5G 100mW∕cm2 irradiation. This result is comparable to the previous regular structure device on the same system. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy shows that the work function of annealed Cs2CO3 layer decreases from 3.45to3.06eV. Further x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results reveal that Cs2CO3 can decompose into low work function, doped cesium oxide Cs2O upon annealing, which is accountable for the work-function reduction and device efficiency improvement.

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.
