Abstract

Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) is presented as a new, contactless, and roll-to-roll compatible method for the deposition of silver top electrodes for organic solar cells (OSCs). Employing a nanosecond laser, highly reflective silver electrodes are printed by LIFT onto OSCs with P3HT:o-IDTBR bulk heterojunction layers. Upon optimization of ink composition, source film thickness, and laser parameters, the resulting organic solar cells reach efficiencies of more than 5%, which are similar to those of reference devices with vapor-deposited silver electrodes.
