An efficient organic inverted solar cell with AnE-PV stat:PCBM active layer and V sub(2)O sub(5)/Al anode layer

An inverted organic solar cell, which is based on anthcene-containing poly (p-phenylene-ethynylene)-alt-poly(p-phenylene-vinylene) (PPE-PPV) polymer (AnE-PV stat) and phenyl C sub(61) butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), was fabricated with Titanium dioxide (TiO sub(2)) electron transport layer and V sub(2)O sub(5)/Al anode layer. In this study, we have investigated the effect of V sub(2)O sub(5) thickness on solar cell efficiency. Power conversion efficiency of 3.26% has been achieved for 15 nm V sub(2)O sub(5) layer. The lifetime of the cell was investigated using ISOS-L-1. The test indicated that the durability of the solar cell, which is designed in ITO/TiO sub(2)/AnE-PV stat:PCBM/V sub(2)O sub(5) (15 nm)/Al configuration, is 99% under standard solar irradiation of 100 mW/cm super(2) (AM 1.5 G) at ambient conditions for 24 h.
