An indium tin oxide/titanium oxide/[6,6]-phenyl C 61 butyric acid methyl ester: regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxylenethiophene): poly(4-styrene sulfonic acid)/Au type organic solar cell (ITO/TiO x /PCBM:P3HT/PEDOT:PSS/Au) with 1 cm 2 active area, which is called "inverted type solar cell", was developed using an ITO/amorphous titanium oxide (TiO x ) electrode prepared by a sol-gel technique instead of the low functional electrode such as Al. The power conversion efficiency (η) of 2.47 % was obtained by irradiating AM 1.5G-100 mW cm -2 simulated sunlight. We found that a photoconduction of TiO x by irradiating UV light containing slightly into the simulated sunlight was required to drive this solar cell. The device durability in an ambient atmosphere was maintained for more than 20 h under continuous light irradiation. Further, when the air-stable device was covered by a glass plate with water getter sheet which was coated by an epoxy UV resin as sealing material, the durability was still higher and over 96 % of relative efficiency was observed even after continuous light irradiation for 120 h.
