Comment on Enhanced Charge Selectivity via Anodic-C60 Layer Reduces Nonradiative Losses in Organic Solar Cells

Gert-Jan A. H. Wetzelaer et al.

Summary: Understanding interface-related phenomena is crucial for improving the performance of thin-film solar cells. A recent study by Pranav et al. demonstrates that incorporating a thin C-60 interlayer at the MoO3 anode reduces electron surface recombination. They propose that this reduction is a result of the C-60 interlayer rendering the MoO3 contact Ohmic, leading to an increased built-in voltage and suppression of minority-carrier surface recombination.
