27 August 2009Degradation and stability of R2R manufactured polymer solar cells
Polymer solar cells have many advantages such as light weight, flexibility, environmental friendliness, low thermal
budget, low cost and most notably very fast modes of production by printing techniques. Production experiments have
shown that it is highly feasible with existing technology to mass produce polymer solar cells at a very low cost. We have
employed state-of-the-art analytical techniques to address the challenging issues of degradation and stability of R2R
manufactured devices. We have specifically studied the relative effect of oxygen and water on the operational devices in
regard to degradation.
