The performance of bi-layer organic solar cells with the structure ITO/PEDOT:PSS/CuPc/C 60 /BCP/Al was optimized. Prior to cell deposition, an optimal indium tin oxide (ITO) surface treatment technique was determined, with N 2 plasma treatment providing the highest solar cell efficiency. Parametric studies were performed to identify optimal fabrication conditions and deposition thicknesses for each layer by using solar cell efficiency as the primary performance measure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
