Processing additives for fabricating organic photovoltaic cells

This disclosure relates to a photovoltaic cell containing first and second electrodes, a photoactive layer between the first and second electrodes, and a hole transport layer between the first electrode and the photoactive layer. The hole transport layer consists of an ionic copolymer.

Organic photovoltaic cells

Tandem photovoltaic cells, as well as related components, systems, and methods, are disclosed.

The invention discloses for the first time how an organic component can be produced in a process designed entirely as a roll-to-roll process. The advantage of the continuous production method described here is, further, that the active regions of the active semiconductor layer are not exposed to unprotected solvents and/or solvent vapors at any time during the production process. This makes it possible to produce a high-quality organic component.

Roll to roll manufacturing of organic solar modules

In a method for producing electrochromic displays () the functional layers, such as the electrodes () and electrochromic layer () are configured in a printing process. The method enables a particularly cost-effective and flexible production of the display.

Method for producing an electrochromic display

The invention relates to a material for applying thin organic layers having a specifically adjustable conductivity. Said material comprises at least one mixture of two different fractions of a functional polymer, preferably in a solvent, and is used, for example, with the aid of various application techniques, as a functional layer for an organic electronic component.

Material for a functional layer of an organic electronic component, method for the production thereof, and use thereof

The present invention proposes an organic photovoltaic component, particularly an organic solar cell, whose electrode is implemented as unstructured and is provided with a passivation layer, so that the passivated electrode layer acts functionally as a structured electrode or electrode layer.

Inexpensive organic solar cell and method of producing same

The present invention provides a process for forming a substrate for an organic semiconductor component. The process includes the steps of providing a fullerene network (), providing a semiconductor solution (), and applying the semiconductor solution () to the fullerene network (), the viscosity of the semiconductor solution () being so adjusted that the semiconductor solution () infiltrates the pores of the fullerene network () and fills it so that the filled network forms a substrate (). Further provided is a substrate comprising a fullerene network, composed of pure, unsubstituted fullerenes (), and a semiconductor solution (). Additionally provided is an organic semiconductor component, particularly an organic solar cell or an organic photodetector, that contains the inventive substrate.
