Efficient organic solar cells based on spray - patterned single wall carbon nanotube electrodes

摘要

We report efficient organic bulk heterojunction solar cells, utilizing spray - patterned films of single - wall carbon nanotubes for the transparent electrode. High power conversion efficiencies of up to 3.6% were obtained using a blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene) and phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester as the active layer, comparable to conventional devices utilizing indium tin oxide as the transparent electrode.
