摘要
Polymer and organic solar cells degrade during illumination and in the dark. This is in contrast to photovoltaics based on inorganic semiconductors such as silicon. Long operational lifetimes of solar cell devices are required in real-life application and the understanding and alleviation of the degradation phenomena are a prerequisite for successful application of this new and promising technology. In this review, the current understanding of stability/degradation in organic and polymer solar cell devices is presented and the methods for studying and elucidating degradation are discussed. Methods for enhancing the stability through the choice of better active materials, encapsulation, application of getter materials and UV-filters are also discussed. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
