The present review rationalizes the information spread in the literature concerning the use and role of buffer layers in polymer solar cells. Usual device structures include buffer layers, both at the anode and at the cathode interface, mainly to favour charge collection and extraction, but also to improve the device’s overall performance.
Buffer layers are actually essential for achieving highly efficient polymer solar cells and can no more be considered as “optional”, thus the need and… TiOx has been widely used as buffer layer to improve the efficiency and stability of organic solar cell. This paper presents the effect of polyethylene glycol on the properties of organic solar…
Buffer layers are actually essential for achieving highly efficient polymer solar cells and can no more be considered as “optional”, thus the need and importance of understanding their properties and role.
In addition to affecting the open-circuit voltage of a cell, it is commonly reported that buffer layers affect stress-induced degradation and transient phenomena in CdTe-and CuInSe 2 -based solar cells.
Optimum cell performance is usually found when the TCO layer in contact with the CdS is very resistive or almost insulating. In addition to affecting the open-circuit voltage of a cell, it is commonly reported that buffer layers affect stress-induced degradation and transient phenomena in CdTe- and CuInSe 2 -based solar cells.
