Abstract

A study employed a newly developed amine-containing conjugated polymer PF3N-2TNDI as the electron-transport-layer (ETL) and PEDOT:PSS as the hole-transport-layer (HTL)to construct the inter-connecting layer (ICL) for conventional tandem organic solar cells (OSCs). A 2 nm Ag film was deposited to further improve the recombination property at the ETL/HTL interface. A wide bandgap PThBDTP:PC₇₁ BM sub-cell and a narrow bandgap DPPEZnP-TEH:PC₆₁ BM sub-cell were chosen to construct the tandem OSC as they showed complementary absorption and both of them could produce single-junction cells with high efficiency.
