Abstract
Multiple junction solar cells incorporating polymer:fullerene bulk heterojunctions as active layers and solution processed electron and hole transport layers are presented. The recombination layer, deposited between the active layers, is fabricated by spin coating ZnO nanoparticles from acetone, followed by spin coating neutral pH poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) from water and short UV illumination of the completed device. The key advantage of this procedure is that each step does not affect the integrity of previously deposited layers. The open-circuit voltage (Voc) for double and triple junction solar cells is close to the sum of the Voc’s of individual cells.Keywords
