International audienceThe energy conversion efficiency of organic solar cells based on simple electron donor/electron acceptor heterojunction has been studied as a function of the interface anode/electron donor. The anode is fluorine doped tin oxide film. It is shown that the solar cell efficiency increases when a metal ultra thin layer is introduced between the anode and the electron donor. Experimental and theoretical studies show that the work function value of the metal is one of the main factors which allow improving the organic solar cells performances, via better hole collection efficiency
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
