Abstract :
Correlation between the power conversion efficiency and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) modified poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) of polymer solar cells is studied. The PEDOT:PSS is modified by adding process additive (DMSO) during processing. However, highly conductive DMSO-PEDOT:PSS leads to tremendous errors in the measurement of the polymer solar cells. Our investigations show that the light illumination area of the polymer solar cells based on the DMSO-PEDOT:PSS has to be further adjusted before measurement.
