Abstract
ITO-free polymer solar cells with efficiencies as high as 6.6% and 5.8% are fabricated on glass and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) by using TeO(2) to enhance the in-coupling of light in an Ag-Ag microcavity. These cells exhibit higher performance, selective microcavity resonance as a function of the thickness of TeO(2) , and better bending stability than flexible devices made with ITO.
