The basic TIOPV configuration mainly comprised a high reflective Ag anode, a semitransparent Ag cathode and a small molecular active layer. Several characteristics of Ag anode such as surface morphologies, roughness, reflectivity and work-function dominated the device performance, affected by the increasing exposure time under UV-Ozone treatment, corresponding to the more AgOx formation on Ag anode. In particular, the further PEDOT: PSS lamination advanced these characteristics to achieve a more efficient TIOPV. In this paper, the power conversion efficiency 0.53% of TIOPV with a pristine-Ag anode could be raised to 0.96% after 45 second UV-Ozone treatment on Ag anode, finally up to 1.42% by employing a PEDOT:PSS lamination on Ag/AgOx anode. © 2014 IEEE.Ag anode; small molecular; top-illuminated organic photovoltaic[SDGs]SDG7Conducting polymers; Laminating; Organic solar cells; Ozone; Device performance; Fabrication process; Organic photovoltaics; Poly(styrene sulfonate); Poly-3 ,4-ethylenedioxythiophene; Power conversion efficiencies; small molecular; UV-ozone treatment; Anodesconference paper10.1109/CIEC.2014.69590602-s2.0-84914674735
