Abstract:
 An investigation of the absorption enhancement and stability of organic solar cells (OSCs) with regular and reverse configurations will be discussed. The simulation reveals that OSCs with reverse geometry always possess a higher absorption compared to the structurally identical regular configuration OSCs. The reverse configuration OSCs, have an organic functional stack sandwiched between an Al-modified indium tin oxide transparent cathode and an opaque bi-layer MoO3/Ag anode is more efficient than a control regular OSC. The dissociation of excitons at the Al/organic cathode interface in regular geometry OSCs hampers the electron collection. The origin of unfavorable electron collection is mainly due to the compensation of drifted photo-generated electrons at the organic/cathode (Al) interface, which can be eliminated, e.g., by inserting a thin ZnO interlayer between the organic layer and Al electrode. This work clearly reveals that the removal of the unfavorable interfacial exciton dissociation is a perquisite for a significant enhancement in power conversion efficiency in OSCs.
