Abstract
In this study, we combine Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene): poly(styrenesurfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and silver nanowires (AgNWs) to fabricate a 102 highly conductive film as indium tin oxide replacement in optoelectronic devices. Different from traditional approaches, only very small amount of AgNWs are mixed in PEDOT:PSS, resulting to a loose connected networks. We find that loose connected AgNWs in the PEDOT:PSS matrix can effectively improve the conductivity of the conductive polymer-based electrode. By utilizing these electrodes in the optoelectronic devices, we demonstrate efficient P3HT:PCBM organic solar cells with power conversion efficiency up to 4.2%.
