Organic solar cells (OSCs) have seen a tremendous surge in power conversion efficiency in the last decade. Particularly, those made from bulk heterojunction solution-processed active layers have seen the highest potential for practical applications sucha as indoor applications, Internet of Things, etc. In this respect, polymer and small molecule donors have both received extensive attention and as a result have led to PCE over 19 %.
The aim is optimize the current processes, identifying the most critical steps and parameters and to achieve efficiencies over 20%. Also, we want to use new polymers and analyse the effect of metallic nanoparticles to increase of the light absorption or photovoltaic conversion. Finally, the stability and lifetime of the OSC will by investigated under different ambiental conditions.
