Abstract:

Al doped zinc oxide (AZO) as anode for bulk-heterojunction [regioregular of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):(6,6)-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)] organic solar cells was investigated. We got efficient flexible solar cells with a highly transparent and electrical conductive NiO film as hole-transporting layer (HTL) on optimized AZO substrate. The strcture of this kind of devices is PET/AZO/NiO/P3HT: PCBM /Al. The highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) on glass substrate is 3.15%, and 1.66% on flexible substrate. The physical and electrical properties of AZO thin film were discussed, and the device photovoltaic characteristics were investigated in detail.
