摘要: This article provides an overview of the design, fabrication and characterization most widely used cathode buffer layers (CBLs) constructed using pristine zinc oxide (ZnO), doped-ZnO, ZnO-based composites as well surface modified CBLs for improvement power conversion efficiency (PCE) long-term device stability inverted polymer solar cells (PSCs). To achieve high PCE in PSCs, selection appropriate material to form quality so optimize electron collection transport is particularly important. ZnO has been extensively studied CBL PSCs view its relatively mobility, optical transparency, ease being synthesized with low cost solution methods at temperature, versatile morphologies, environmentally stable. It pointed out this review that electronic processes interface between active layer play important role determining performance. attempts deliver better understanding regard impacts (1) morphology, (2) thickness, (3) nanostructures, (4) doping, (5) modification (6) composition/hybrids on Well interfacial believed also a benefit emerging perovskite their similar energy levels structures.
