Full-Solution Processed Flexible Organic Solar Cells Using Low-Cost Printable Copper Electrodes

Full‐solution‐processed flexible organic solar cells (OSCs) are fabricated using low‐cost and high‐quality printable Cu electrodes, which achieve a power conversion efficiency as high as 2.77% and show remarkable stability upon 1000 bending cycles. This device performance is thought to be the best a...

Description
Summary:Full‐solution‐processed flexible organic solar cells (OSCs) are fabricated using low‐cost and high‐quality printable Cu electrodes, which achieve a power conversion efficiency as high as 2.77% and show remarkable stability upon 1000 bending cycles. This device performance is thought to be the best among all full‐solution‐processed OSCs reported in the literature using the same active materials. This printed Cu electrode is promising for application in roll‐to‐roll fabrication of flexible OSCs.
