摘要
10 cm(2) area molecular photovoltaic cells have been fabricated, incorporating transparent protection layers of naphthalene tetracarboxylic anhydride (NTCDA) which completely suppress electrical shorting. Even a 2-mu m-thick NTCDA layer was unable to degrade cell performance. This technique will offer a solution to fabricate organic solar cells of sufficient area for practical applications.
