“…Results depicted that Ca-based device has higher PCE as compared to Mg metal modified based devices, because Ca has lower work function than the rest of materials, and it helped in significantly improving the V oc . Jouad et al [157] reported the tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)Aluminum (Alq 3 ) with Ca as CBL. They have shown the effect of layer by layer deposition of Ca/Alq 3 , and the devices were fabricated by using the different thicknesses of Ca and Alq 3 , where CuPc/SubPc/C 60 was used as an active layer.…”

The intergovernmental panel on climate change has warned about the global temperature that will rise by 4 to 5.8 °C by the end of the century; carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) too will to increase up to 1099 ppm by 2100s. [2] All this will severely impact the environment in terms of melting glaciers, rising sea levels, global warming, etc. This has led the research focus on renewable energy alternative sources such as, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal, etc., in which solar energy is an abundant and attractive for photovoltaic (PV) application. In PV, silicon (polycrystalline, monocrystalline, and amorphous), copper indium gallium (di) selenide (CIGS), gallium arsenide (GaAs), and cadmium telluride (CdTe), heterojunction with intrinsic thinlayer based PV technologies are being used worldwide in which silicon-waferbased solar cells account for about 94% of the total production. [3][4][5][6][7] However, the high cost of inorganic photovoltaic has prevented these technologies from having a significant impact on global energy production. The main disadvantage of these solar cell technologies is the high purity environment needed for device handling and processing. [8,9] The energy and cost required for the material processing and device fabrication are comparatively high, which limits its effectiveness as an alternate energy source. The perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are also being studied as potential alternatives. [10,11] DSSCs could be

“…The first OPVs probed were inverted cells with the configuration: Substrate/Cathode/BCP (9 nm)/C60(35 nm)/SubPc (16 nm)/MoO3 (7 nm)/Al, the cathode being either ZnS/Ag/TiO2 or ITO. The thicknesses of the different layers were optimized in earlier studies [29]. Typical results are given in Figure 7 and Table 4.…”

“…In the present study, transparent indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) electrodes are sequentially modified with layers of TiO 2 , sensitizer dye, mesoporous silica template, and nanowired PEDOT. Then, these electrodes are employed in the design of multiple-layer photovoltaic cells [ 28 , 29 ]. It is worth noting that most preparative methods are based on electrochemical techniques which ensures low cost and reproducible results.…”

In this work, nanostructured TiO2 and poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) layers were electrochemically prepared over transparent electrodes. Morphological characterization evidenced the presence of nanostructures as planed with 50-nm-wide TiO2 rod formations followed by 30-nm-wide PEDOT wires. Different characterizations were made to the deposits, establishing their composition and optic properties of the deposits. Finally, photovoltaic cells were prepared using this modified electrode, proving that the presence of PEDOT nanowires in the cell achieves almost double the efficiency of its bulk analogue.
