  • Abstract
    To enhance the work function of indium tin oxide (ITO) and make its surface hydrophobic, triethoxy(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoro-1-octyl)silane (FOTES) was introduced as a self-assembly monolayer (SAM) material. A polymer solar cell has been fabricated with FOTES–ITO, and due to decreased series resistance (RS) and increased shunt resistance (RSH), the short circuit current density (JSC), open circuit voltage (VOC), and fill factor (FF) of the optimized device were 9.2 mA/cm2, 0.63 V and 57.9%, respectively. The calculated power conversion efficiency (PCE) was 3.4%. In addition, the air stability of the fabricated device was improved.
