High-Performance Polymer Solar Cells with Electrostatic Layer-by-Layer Self-Assembled Conjugated Polyelectrolytes as the Cathode Interlayer

An easy and efficient approach to achieve a large‐area cathode interlayer with controlled film composition, uniformity, and thickness under a nanometer scale is reported by using an electrostatic layer‐by‐layer (eLbL) self‐assembly process. The eLbL films provide a new means for preparing efficient...

Description
Summary:An easy and efficient approach to achieve a large‐area cathode interlayer with controlled film composition, uniformity, and thickness under a nanometer scale is reported by using an electrostatic layer‐by‐layer (eLbL) self‐assembly process. The eLbL films provide a new means for preparing efficient interlayers for polymer solar cells (PSCs) and also represent a potential candidate for use in high‐performance large‐area PSC modules in the future.
