New barrier encapsulation and lifetime assessment of printed organic

1. Introduction. Organic photovoltaics (OPV) has attracted much attention in the field of photovoltaic research. Recent progress in the development of new materials and device structures has led to several reports of devices having power-conversion efficiencies exceeding 9% for laboratory-scale test devices [1], [2], [3], and a certified record efficiency of 11.5% [4].

Paper-thin solar cell can turn any surface into a power source

The researchers can then peel the printed module, which is about 15 microns in thickness, off the plastic substrate, forming an ultralight solar device. But such thin, freestanding solar modules are challenging to handle and can easily tear, which would make them difficult to deploy. "Printed Organic Photovoltaic Modules on Transferable
