Ternary organic solar cells enjoy both the enhanced light absorption by incorporating multiple organic materials in tandem solar cells and the simplicity of processing conditions that are used in single bulk heterojunction solar cells.

AbstractIncorporating localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) into organic solar cells (OSCs) is a popular method for improving the power conversion efficiency (PCE) by introducing better light absorption. In this work, we designed a one-pot synthesis of Ag@SiO2@AuNPs dual plasmons and observed an immense increase in light absorption over a wide range of wavelengths. Ag@SiO2 plays the main role in enhancing light absorption near the ultraviolet band. The silica shell can also further enhance the LSP resonance effect and prevent recombination on the surface of AgNPs. The AuNPs on the Ag@SiO2 shell exhibited strong broad visible-light absorption due to LSP resonance and decreased light reflectance. By utilizing Ag@SiO2@AuNPs, we could enhance the light absorption and photoinduced charge generation, thereby increasing the device PCE to 8.57% and Jsc to 17.67 mA cm−2, which can be attributed to the enhanced optical properties. Meanwhile, devices without LSPR nanoparticles and Ag@SiO2 LSPR only showed PCEs of 7.36% and 8.18%, respectively.

This article presents the results of research output voltage characteristics of solar cells on an organic basis with the use of P3HT: PCBM system. There were produced organic solar cells in a coating in air, current-voltage characteristics were measured. It was determined the characteristic influence of a substrate cleaning and annealing temperature of layers applied on fill factor and conversion efficiency.

A thin Ag layer embedded between layers of zinc tin oxide (ZTO) are compared to cells using an indium tin oxide electrode was investigated for inverted organic bulk heterojunction solar cells employing a multilayer electrode. ZTO/Ag/ ZTO (ZAZ) electrode is the preparation at room temperature, a high transparency in the visible part of the spectrum, and a very low sheet resistance comparable to treated ITO without the need for any thermal post deposition treatment as it is necessary for ITO. The In-free ZAZ electrodes exhibit a favorable work function of 4.3 eV and are shown to allow for excellent electron extraction even without a further interlayer. This renders ZAZ a perfectly suited bottom electrode for inverted organic solar cells with simplified cell architecture.
