摘要
(Graph Presented). High-efficiency, vacuum-deposited small-molecule organic tandem and triple-junction photovoltaic cells are demonstrated. The devices are composed of two sub-cells with minimal absorption spectral overlap. A nearly transparent fullerene/wide-energy gap organic mixture is introduced as the interconnecting blocking layer to further reduce cell losses. A power conversion efficiency of 10.0% is achieved for the tandem cell and 11.1% is achieved for a triple-junction cell. © 2014 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
