Abstract
Efficient semitransparent polymer solar cells (ST-PSCs) have been fabricated with one-dimensional photonic crystals (1DPCs) as a high reflector. The 1DPCs are composed of several pairs of WO3 (65.8 nm)/LiF (95.5 nm). By optimizing the pairs of WO3/LiF, 1DPCs can reflect the light back into the ST-PSCs due to the photonic band gap, when the high reflectance range of 1DPCs is matched with absorption spectrum of the active layer. ST-PSCs with 8 pairs of 1DPC exhibit an attractive performance. The short-circuit current density (Jsc) and power conversion efficiency (PCE), respectively, reach to 9.76 mA/cm(2) and 5.16% compared to 8.12 mA/cm(2) and 4.24% of the reference ST-PSCs without 1DPCs. A maximum enhancement of 20.2% in Jsc is obtained and the PCE increases by ~21.7%. This approach provides a simple, fascinating and promising method to realize the highly efficient ST-PSCs toward applications.
