Manufacturing of inorganic-organic hybrid solar cells by screen printing method

Abstract

In this study, hybrid bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells with a poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5- diyl)(P3HT):(6,6)-phenyl $C _{61}$ -butyric acid methyl ester (PC61 BM) active layer, a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyt- hiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS) buffer layer, and an electrochemically deposited zinc oxide (ZnO) n-type inorganic layer were produced. The PET/ITO/ZnO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PC61 BM/Al device was manufactured and tested under solar illumination (AM1.5G, 100 mW/$Cm^ 2$ ).
