研究目的
Investigating the scalable fabrication of organic solar cells based on non-fullerene acceptors to overcome the lab-to-fab challenge and realize large-scale energy supply.
研究成果
The paper concludes that addressing the lab-to-fab challenge through dual temperature control, systematic in situ morphology studies, and development of protocols for continuous solution processing of interfacial layers can accelerate the relevance of organic solar cells for large-scale energy supply. It emphasizes the importance of reporting large-area devices fabricated using scalable deposition techniques alongside laboratory-scale champion devices, preferably accompanied by stability analyses.
研究不足
The current limitations include materials' compatibility, choice of non-toxic solvents, choice of compatible interface materials, and most importantly, stability and costs. The absence of ITO-, vacuum-, and fullerene-free devices on flexible substrates fabricated using solely fully scalable deposition techniques with efficiencies of more than 2 % underlines the need for a concentrated effort towards this goal.
