▎ 摘  要

In this paper, we report on the use of molecular level interaction between a composite poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) and graphene oxide (GO) hole transport layer (HTL) to improve the long term stability and performance of poly(3-hexylthiophene): poly(3-hexylthiophene): 3'H-cyclopropa [8,25] [5,6] fullerene-C60-D5h(6)-3'-butanoic acid 3'-phenyl methyl ester (P3HT: PCBM)-based bulk heterojunction organic solar cells (OSCs). The device employing this composite HTL demonstrated a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.82% with good reproducibility and retained over 30% of its initial PCE without encapsulation after 15 days under atmospheric conditions. This was a significant improvement compared with devices fabricated with either single GO or PEDOT: PSS HTLs, which retained only 26% and 0% of their initial PCE values of 3.16% and 4.00%, respectively. Hence, we imagine that this air resistant HTL composite will probably contribute significantly to the widespread commercialization of low cost and easily fabricated OSCs.
