Highly conductive PEDOT:PSS electrode obtained via post-treatment with alcoholic solvent for ITO-free organic solar cells
摘要： We demonstrated a simple and effective processing protocol to improve the electrical conductivity of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films via post-treatment with an alcohol-based solvent, 2-chloroethanol (2-CE), and to enhance their performance as a transparent anode in organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). Owing to its moderate boiling point, in contrast to previously reported chemicals, 2-CE is advantageous both for handling as a liquid-phase chemical and for drying from the films via evaporation. We compared the optical and electrical properties of the 2-CE-treated PEDOT:PSS with those of standard PEDOT:PSS-based electrodes with the addition of 5 vol% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). With a similar thickness and transmittance in the visible region, the 2-CE-treated polymer electrodes outperformed the DMSO-added films with regard to the electrical conductivity (762 S cm-1 vs. 439 S cm-1). The work functions were almost identical: ~5 eV. We fabricated and characterized organic photovoltaic devices using the anodes and polymer:fullerene blends and found that the 2-CE treatment resulted in higher device performance. Additionally, the 2-CE treatment was applicable to OPVs on a flexible plastic substrate, indicating the effectiveness of the proposed protocol.

Flexible perovskite solar cells based on AgNW/ATO composite transparent electrodes
摘要： Silver nanowire (AgNW) transparent electrodes are promising for ?exible perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to their low cost, high conductivity, high transmittance and roll-to-roll fabrication processes. We resolved problems with incorporating AgNW networks into PSCs such as smooth surface morphology, space ?lling and chemical stability by employing solution-deposition of conductive ATO nanoparticles onto pre-existing AgNW networks at low temperatures. AgNW/ATO composite transparent electrodes show a transmission of 76–82 % in the visible region with an excellent sheet resistance of 18 O sq?1, similar to the commercial PET/ITO transparent electrodes. To build up ?exible PSCs, we adopted an architecture in which the thin ?lm of CH3NH3PbI3 was sandwiched between the ZnO (as the electron-selective layer) and carbon electrode (as the hole-selective layer) on the AgNW/ATO composite transparent electrodes. Under AM 1.5 G and 100 mW cm?2 simulated sunlight illumination, the ?exible PSCs based on AgNW/ATO composite transparent electrodes achieved PCEs of 5.07 %. The ?exible devices maintained their performance after 100 bending cycles at 6 mm radius of curvature.

Quantum dot light-emitting diodes with an Al-doped ZnO anode
摘要： A study of a hybrid ZnCdSeS/ZnS quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) device fabricated with indium tin oxide (ITO)-free transparent electrodes is presented. Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) prepared by magnetron sputtering is adopted in anode transparent electrodes for green QLEDs with different sputtering pressures. The Kelvin probe force microscopy measurement shows that AZO has a work function of approximately 5.0 eV. The AZO/poly(ethylene-dioxythiophene)/polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) interface can be adjusted by the sputtering pressures, which was confirmed by the hole-only devices. The AZO films with low surface roughness can form a good AZO/PEDOT:PSS interface, which can increase the holes’ injection, and result in improved charge balance. The maximum current efficiency, luminance and external quantum efficiency of the optimized QLEDs devices under a sputtering pressure of 1 mTorr can achieve values of 50.75 cd/A, 102,500 cd/m2 and 12.94%, respectively.

High Figure-of-Merit Transparent Copper–Zinc Oxide Window Electrodes for Organic Photovoltaics
摘要： We report a copper–zinc oxide bilayer electrode supported on ?exible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with a sheet resistance of 11. 3 (cid:127) sq?1 and average transparency of 84.6% in the wavelength range of 400–800 nm. The copper ?lm is perforated with a dense array of sub-micron diameter apertures fabricated using polymer-blend lithography, which imparts broad band anti-re?ectivity. We demonstrate proof-of-principle that it is possible to fabricate the polymer mask by dip coating which is a scalable deposition method compatible with roll-to-roll processing. During storage of the electrode at ambient temperature the ZnO layer is spontaneously doped with copper from the underlying copper ?lm and so the thin ZnO layer serves both as an anti-re?ecting layer and an excellent electron transport layer. When compared with commercially available indium tin oxide coated (ITO) plastic substrates this electrode exhibits superior stability towards bending deformation, with no change in sheet resistance after bending through a 4 mm radius of curvature 100 times. Model inverted organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices using this electrode exhibit a champion power conversion ef?ciency of ～8.7%, which is the highest reported ef?ciency to date for an OPV device using a copper based transparent electrode, outperforming identical devices using ITO coated plastic as the transparent electrode.

Solution-Processed Polymeric Thin Film as the Transparent Electrode for Flexible Perovskite Solar Cells
摘要： In the past decade, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) were arising as a new generation of low-cost solar technology for renewable energy generation. More than 25 % of power conversion efficiency (PCE) was reported from PSCs on the rigid indium tin oxide (ITO)/glass electrode. However, PSCs fabricated on the flexible solution-processed transparent electrode has still been a challenge to date. In this work, we report solution-processed transparent polymeric thin film as the electrode for flexible solution-processed PSCs. The solution-processed polymeric thin film exhibits superior optical transparency and decent electrical conductivity. As compared with a PCE of 16.60% from PSCs on the ITO/glass substrate, PSCs on the solution-processed transparent polymeric electrode/glass substrate exhibit a PCE of 13.36% and PSCs on the solution-processed transparent polymeric thin-film/polyethylene terephthalate flexible substrate possess a PCE of 10.16%. Systematically studies demonstrate that poor electrical conductivity of the solution-processed transparent polymeric electrode and serious interfacial charge carrier recombination are responsible for low PCEs. Nevertheless, our results demonstrate that we provide a facile route to develop flexible PSCs by utilization of solution-processed polymeric thin film as the transparent electrode.

Broadband InSb/Si heterojunction photodetector with graphene transparent electrode
摘要： Silicon-based Schottky heterojunction photodetectors are promising due to its compatibility with semiconductor process. However, the applications of these devices are usually limited to wavelength shorter than 1.1 μm due to the low absorption of electrode materials at infrared. In this report, silicon-based compound semiconductor heterojunction photodetectors with graphene transparent electrode are fabricated. Due to the high absorption of InSb at infrared, as well as the good transparency and excellent electrical conductivity of the graphene, as-prepared photodetector show broadband photoresponse with high performance which includes a specific detectivity of 1.9×1012 cm Hz1/2/W, responsivity of 132 mA/W, on/off ratio of 1× 105, rise time of 2 μs, 3dB cut-off frequency of 172 kHz and response wavelength covering 635 nm, 1.55 μm and 2.7 μm. This report proved that graphene as transparent electrode has a great effect on the performance improvement of the silicon-based compound semiconductor heterojunction photodetectors.

Non-contact Laser Printing of Ag Nanowire-based Electrode with Photodegradable Polymers
摘要： The roll-to-roll process is synonymous with newspaper production. If a similar high-throughput process is developed to fabricate electronics over large areas, it would revolutionize the printed electronics manufacturing process. Rapid fabrication of electrode, including patterning and nanoscale welding, is a necessary integration technique to reduce the duration of the process, but faces difficulties in being realized using conventional methods. This paper discusses material factors that affect printability, in the context of developing a promising fabrication technique called laser induced forward transfer (LIFT); LIFT is non-contact printing technique applied previously to realize simultaneous pattern deposition and nanowelding of Ag nanowire (AgNW)-based electrodes. A photodegradable polymer, which is a key component in the printing process to render droplet acceleration, is investigated with regards to its mechanical and optical properties. Furthermore, the printing process of the AgNW-based electrode is visualized, resulting in deeper understanding of LIFT. Knowledge of these factors will contribute to rapid and precise patterning of AgNW-based electrodes with high stretchability and transparency toward flexible optoelectronics devices.

Enhancement in photovoltaic properties of bismuth ferrite/zinc oxide heterostructure solar cell device with graphene/indium tin oxide hybrid electrodes
摘要： Integrating of ferroelectric thin films with two-dimensional materials may provide a novel and unique characteristics in the field of optoelectronics due to the coupling of their distinctive intrinsic features. A heterostructure (bismuth ferrite/zinc oxide) device is fabricated with different types of the electrode to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE). A single-phase multiferroic BFO thin film is grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) method and annealed in different environments such as helium, nitrogen, and oxygen. We investigated the effect of annealing parameters and different types of electrodes on solar cell applications. We observed that the leakage current 10 orders of magnitude was reduced by decreasing in the dielectric loss. Further, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) is improved from 4.1% to 7.4% with a hybrid transparent electrode (graphene/indium tin oxide). The value of PCE is further increased at a low temperature. So, the improvement in the key parameter of bismuth ferrite thin-film evidently highlights the importance of annealing atmosphere and graphene as an electrode in BFO thin film applications in optoelectronics.

An Electrode Design Rule for Organic Photovoltaics Elucidated Using a Low Surface Area Electrode
摘要： It is widely considered that charge carrier extraction in bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaics (BHJ OPVs) is most efficient when the area of contact between the semiconductor layers and the electrodes is maximized and the electrodes are electrically homogeneous. Herein, it is shown that ≈99% of the electrode surface can in fact be insulating without degrading the efficiency of charge carrier extraction, provided the spacing of the conducting areas is less than or equal to twice the optimal thickness of the BHJ layer. This striking result is demonstrated for BHJ OPVs with both conventional and inverted device architectures using two different types of BHJ OPVs, namely, PCDTBT:PC70BM and the ternary blend PBDB-T:ITIC-m:PC70BM. This finding opens the door to the use of a large pallet of materials for optical spacers and charge transport layers, based on a low density of conducting particles embedded in a wide bandgap insulating matrix.

[IEEE 2019 26th International Workshop on Active-Matrix Flatpanel Displays and Devices (AM-FPD) - Kyoto, Japan (2019.7.2-2019.7.5)] 2019 26th International Workshop on Active-Matrix Flatpanel Displays and Devices (AM-FPD) - PEDOT:PSS Transparent Electrode for ITO-Free Polymer:Fullerene Bulk-Heterojunction Organic Solar Cells
摘要： Conducting poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films have high potential as flexible transparent conductive electrodes in various devices. In this study, two simple robust methanol-based treatment methods, namely, dipping process (DP) and solvent vapor annealing (SVA), were used to improve the electrical conductivity of PEDOT:PSS films in order to make them suitable as electrodes in organic solar cells (OSCs). Then, the characteristics of the methanol-treated PEDOT:PSS films were investigated. After the methanol treatments, the sheet resistance of the PEDOT:PSS films (ca. 100 ?/Sq) were improved by more than 200 times, and the work function (~5.0 eV) was nearly unchanged in both methods. Two completely different possible origins of the improved conductivity of the methanol-treated PEDOT:PSS films were addressed for DP and SVA approaches. Both methods were suitable for preparing methanol-treated PEDOT:PSS films that can be used as anodes for polymer–fullerene-based OSCs. The photovoltaic performance of the modified PEDOT:PSS-based devices was comparable to that of indium tin oxide (ITO)-based devices, thus demonstrating their practicality. The methanol-treated PEDOT:PSS films show great potential as flexible transparent conductive electrodes for ITO-free and metal-free devices.
