dc.description.abstract | We demonstrate semitransparent, small molecular weight organic solar cells employing a thin silver/indium tin oxide compound cathode with a maximum transmission of (60±6)%(60±6)% averaged over the visible spectral range and with a power conversion efficiency, ηp = (0.28±0.03)%ηp=(0.28±0.03)% under simulated, AM1.5G, 1 sun illumination. By increasing the Ag thickness, an average transmission of (26±3)%(26±3)% is achieved with ηp = (0.62±0.06)%ηp=(0.62±0.06)%, a value approximately half of that obtained for the same structure employing a conventional, reflective, and thick Ag cathode. A semitransparent tandem organic solar cell with ηp = (0.48±0.02)%ηp=(0.48±0.02)% and an average transmission of (44±4)%(44±4)% is also demonstrated. Semitransparent organic photovoltaic cells have potential uses as tinted and power-generating thin-film coatings on architectural surfaces, such as windows and walls. The use of a transparent top electrode also significantly simplifies the design of tandem cells, relaxing requirements for the placement of different absorbing materials at the maxima of optical fields introduced by reflective cathodes. | en_US |
