Polymer Solar Cells Using a PEDOT：PSS/Cu Nanowires/PEDOT：PSS Multilayer as the Anode Interlayer

We compare the electrical, optical, and surface properties of the PEDOT：PSS/Cu nanowires （Cu NWs）/PEDOT： PSS （PCP） multilayer for organic solar cells. It is demonstrated that the electrical and optical properties of the PEDOT could be improved by the insertion of a Cu NW layer due to its very low resistivity and surface morphology. The organic bulk heterojunction solar cell fabricated on the multil~yer exhibits a higher power conversion ef~ciency than devices based on the PEDOT：PSS or PEDOT：PSS/Cu NWs layer. Moreover, the PCP multilayer can improve cell-performances such as a fill factor and the internal resistance in the device due to horizontally well-aligned Cu NWs. The results suggest that the PCP multilayer is a promising low-cost and low-temperature processing buffer layer candidate for low-cost organic photovoltaics.
