Polymer blends are potential candidates for solar-energy conversion, due to their flexibility, ease of processing, and low costs. We report herein 2.6 cm2 active area of flexible polymer solar cells based on blends of polymeric semiconductor [poly (2-methoxy-5-(3,7-dimethyloctyloxy)-(para-phenylene vinylene)] (MDMO-PPV) and the soluble fullerene C60 derivative [6,6 phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl este (PCBM). Devices were prepared by etching an electrode pattern of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) covered on poly [ethylene terephthalat (PET) substrate. A layer of conducting poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrene sulphonate) (PEDOT:PSS) were screen printed on top of the ITO. Followed by spin coated a polymer blends of MDMO-PPV/PCBM in chlorobenzene onto PEDOT:PSS layer. Finally, evaporation of a silver electrode and PET film lamination completed the devices. The typical overall power efficiency of the prototype devices in an active area of 2.6 cm2 was 0.004 % with open-circuit voltage of 1.473 Volt, short-circuit current of 5.84 x 10-06 Ampere, and maximum power of 2.12 x 10-06 Watt.

In this paper, we discuss a method for fabricating an ultrathin polymer substrate with one-dimensional nanograting patterns to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of ultrathin polymer solar cells (PSCs) and suppress the dependence on the incident angle of light. Because the fabricating process of the ultrathin polymer substrate was carried out using a solution process, it can be manufactured in a large area, and the PCE of the patterned ultrathin substrate-based PSC is improved by 8.9% compared to the non-patterned device. In addition, triple-patterned ultrathin PSCs incorporating the same nanograting pattern as the substrate were fabricated in the electron transport (ZnO) layer and the photoactive layer (PBDTTT-OFT and PC71BM mixture (ratio-1: 1.5)) to achieve PCE of 10.26%. Thanks to the nanograting pattern introduced in the substrate, ZnO layer, and photoactive layer, it was possible to minimize the PCE change according to the incident angle of light. Moreover, we performed 1000 cycles of compression/relaxation tests to evaluate the mechanical properties of the triple-patterned ultrathin PSCs, after which the PCE remained at 71% of the initial PCE.
