Abstract

Organic solar cells with PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer or P3HT:PCBM active layer deposited by a novel solution-based mist deposition technique were fabricated and demonstrated. The device with mist-deposited PEDOT:PSS layer showed higher short circuit current density and power conversion efficiency than those of the one with spin-coated PEDOT:PSS layers. The device with mist-deposited P3HT:PCBM layer also performed with higher power conversion efficiency. The results encourage the promising potential of the mist deposition method for device fabrication.
