摘要

Abstract

Conventional organic solar cell's (OSC) architectures

including rigid transparent substrate (Glass)

conductive electrode (Indium tin oxide

ITO) and small working areas

are widely utilized in organic photovoltaic fields. However

such a structure as well as conventional spin-coating method obviously restrict their industrial application. In this article

we report the deposition of silver nanowires (AgNWs) on the flexible substrate by slot-die printing. The obtained AgNWs films exhibited a high transmittance and a low resistance

and were further used as the transparent conductive electrode of OSCs. A typical conjugated polymer

poly[(2

5-bis (2-hexyldecyloxy) phenylene)-

alt

-(5

6-difluoro-4

7-di (thiophen-2-yl) benzo[c] [1

thiadiazole)] (PPDT2FBT)

was used as the active material to fabricate large-area (7 cm

) solar cells by a slot-die coating process. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) could reach 1.87% initially and further increased to 3.04% by thermal annealing. Compared to the performance of reference cell on ITO substrate

the result indicated that the AgNWs could be developed as an alternative substitute of conductive electrode to fabricate the large-area flexible OSCs by roll-to-roll printing.
