In this study, the stability of p-DTS(FBTTh2)(2):PC70BM inverted organic solar cells with two types of solution-processed electron transport layers (ETLs) under indoor light and AM 1.5 G illumination spectrum was investigated. The results showed that both ETLs demonstrated good performance and stability under different lighting conditions.
In this work, we fabricate, characterize and present a stability study of p-DTS(FBTTh2)(2):PC70BM inverted organic solar cells (iOSCs) with two different solution-processed electron transport layers (ETLs), PFN and ZnO, under indoor light and AM 1.5 G illumination spectrum. A warm white color light-emitting diode was used as the indoor light source. Under the luminance of 1000 lux, a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.85% and maximum power density (MPP) of 45.1 mu W/cm(2) were obtained for cells with PFN as ETL. After 1536 h of constant indoor light illumination, the PCE remained above 70% of the original value. The best stability of encapsulated devices, under AM 1.5 illumination spectrum was also observed for these cells, which still maintained a PCE above 60% after 6000 h.
