The inverted polymer solar cell was prepared by self-made spray-coating system, and the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) hole transport layer was studied. 220 nm poly-(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenylC61butyric-acid methyl-ester (P3HT:PCBM) and 40 nm PEDOT:PSS were deposited on ZnO thin film subsequently by solution spray coating. Different volume of isopropyl alcohol was introduced into PEDOT:PSS to decrease the contact angle and obtain the optimum Marangoni flow. The surface morphology and roughness of PEDOT:PSS films were characterized by atomic force microscopy with varied deposition temperature from 70°C to 160°C. The improvement of power conversion efficiency (PCE) was attributed to the enhancement of vertical phase separation in PEDOT:PSS film, which improved the charge transfer in the bulk cell. The highest PCE of spray-coated PSCs reached 2.80% after postannealing for 10 min.

The nanocolloidal solution has been spin coated on the substrate layer-by-layer, a self-assembly technique has used to form the multilayer thin films. The optical and structural properties of self-assembled multilayer thin films were characterized by UV-visible, photoluminescence, X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy

High performance organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) devices were fabricated using transparent and conductive single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) anode. The turn-on voltage of 4–4.5 V and a maximum brightness of 2695 cd/m2 and luminance efficiency of > 10 d/A are achieved by adding a thin nano-thick-layer of CF x coating between the SWCNT anode and hole transport layer (HTL). The interaction of this CF x-layer and the CNT anode is studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). A simple and effective way of patterning the SWCNT anode is demonstrated.

We have investigated the effect of diluting treatment of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophen e):poly (styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS) solution on the PEDOT:PSS films and the organic polymer solar cells based on poly [4,8-bis (5-(2-ethylhexyl) thiophen-2-yl) benzo [1,2-b;4,5-b0] dithiophene-co-3-fluorothieno [3,4-b] thiophene-2-carboxylate](PTB7-Th):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) using PEDOT:PSS polymer as the hole transport layer. The diluted PEDOT:PSS solution by water with 1:1.5 volume ratio was used to fabricate the hole transport layer in the organic solar cell, the fill factor and the shunt resistance of the solar cell can be significantly enhanced compared with the control cell, up to 64% and 949.03Ω·cm2, respectively.
