摘要
Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films (70 nm thick) with dissimilar surface roughness were created on indium tin oxide coated glass and were used as electrodes for inverted organic solar cells. The photovoltaic performance of the devices depended strongly on the surface roughness of the AZO films. Increases in the surface root-mean-square roughness of AZO films from 2.5 to 10.9 nm enhanced power conversion efficiency from 0.5% to 1.4% due to increased contact area between electrode and active layer.
