description Organic solar cells: Polymer mixtures enhance the thermal stability Organic solar cells increase their lifetime by adding another polymer component, paving the way towards commercialization. A team led by Alexander Colsmann at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany conducted systematic spectroscopic investigations and device characterizations to demonstrate that the degradation of PTB7-Th: PC61BM solar cell can be efficiently suppressed by incorporating the near infrared-absorbing polymer PDTP-DFBT. Upon harsh thermal stress at 120 °C for 2 h, the ternary solar cells show only a minor relative deterioration of 10% with a high power conversion efficiency of 6%. This work reveals the importance of a third component to lock the phase conformation of the polymer and fullerene domains. This is a key step for the thermally stable power output thus the commercialization of the organic solar cells.
