Abstract
The insertion of very thick naphthalene tetracarboxylic anhydride films under vacuum-deposited metal electrodes effectively protected -heterojunction organic solar cells from shorting-out electrically. Fill-factors of 0.56 and conversion efficiencies (corrected for absorbed light) of 3.07% were observed. The present technique would be a powerful tool for the fabrication of large area organic solar cells.
