Organosilica Nanodots Doped ZnO Cathode Interface Layer for Highly Efficient and Stable Inverted Polymer Solar Cells.

Interfacial engineering is essential to achieve optical efficiencies and facilitate the industrialization of organic solar cells (OSCs). By doping organosilica nanodots (OSiNDs) into zinc oxide (ZnO), we have developed a hybrid ZnO/OSiNDs (4 wt %) cathode interface layer (CIL) that significantly enhances the overall performance of inverted organic solar cells (i-OSCs). In the PM6/BTP-eC9 active layer system, i-OSC devices with a ZnO/OSiNDs (4 wt %) CIL exhibit a superior power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.
