Abstract
The indium–tin-oxide-free organic solar cells (OSCs) have been fabricated using a semitransparent Au film as anode. A comparative study between the OSCs with different metal cathodes shows that formation of an ideal ohmic contact at low-workfunction Ca and the organic interface reduces series resistance and increases the carrier collection. Moreover, a periodic corrugation was introduced into the device structure, which leads to an enhanced light absorption in the OSCs by elongating the optical path of the incident light inside the absorber material. The highest power conversion efficiency of an optimal OSC with a Au anode and a corrugated Ca/Ag cathode is 1.4%, which is significantly improved in contrast to 0.61% for the OSC with a planar Al cathode.
