A cross-linked and n-doped cathode interlayer (c-NDI:N) has been developed for highly efficient and stable organic solar cells. The c-NDI:N@200°C film shows excellent robustness, high conductivity, and good film morphology. The inverted organic solar cell using c-NDI:N@200°C as the interlayer achieves a high power conversion efficiency of 17.5% and maintains its performance even with increased interlayer thickness up to 100 nm. Additionally, the c-NDI:N layer can protect the device from water and can be used for photoelectrochemical water-splitting.
Interlayer materials play a critical role in fabricating high-performance organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, a cross-linked and n-doped cathode interlayer (CIL), namely, c-NDI:N, for highly efficient and stable organic solar cells is developed. This study demonstrates that the combination of high-temperature cross-linking along with n-doping endows the c-NDI:N@200 & DEG;C film with excellent robustness, high conductivity, and good film morphology. The inverted OSC using c-NDI:N@200 & DEG;C as CIL exhibits the highest power conversion efficiency of 17.5%, and most notably, appears in a negligible decline in device performance as the film thickness of CIL increases to & AP;100 nm. Furthermore, c-NDI:N can serve as a protecting layer to shield the device against water ingress. Interestingly, c-NDI:N device can be used under water for photoelectrochemical water-splitting, highlighting the great application of c-NDI:N CIL in inverted OSCs.
