Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
At present; organic solar cells (OSCs) have achieved power conversion efficiency (PCE) beyond 20% due to creative designs of photoactive and buffer layer materials. In order to satisfy commercial application; OSCs need to achieve excellent PCE and stability simultaneously. Because of the merits of high transmittance; electronic conductivity; and solution processed; Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been used widely as effective electron transport layer (ETL) for high performance rigid and large-area flexible OSCs. However; the relatively low film quality and surface defects of ZnO affect device PCE and stability significantly. Therefore; researchers have done many great efforts in recent several years to modify ZnO and improve performance of OSCs; and the progresses are summarized in this review. Firstly; this paper introduces the developments of photoactive materials and device structures of OSCs. Secondly; the characteristics of ZnO and its positive functions for OSCs as ETL are elaborated. Particularly; the improved photovoltaic parameters and stability of OSCs are presented in detail when ZnO is modified by various strategies; such as optimized preparation methods; post treatment; and using metal elements and inorganic and organic materials as modifiers. Finally; some conclusions and outlooks are provided. This paper provides meaningful insights for OSCs based on ZnO ETL.
