Original Abstract

This article is focused on the development of new formulations of inks for printed electron transport layers based on titanium oxide. The electron transport layers were prepared from a suspension consisting of titania nanoparticles and a novel organo-silica binder. The layers are post-processed by low temperature UV curing instead of thermal annealing. The UV-cured TiO2 layers were applied in inverted-structure organic bulk heterojunction solar cells with the active layer from a PCDTBT:PC60BM blend. These devices achieved a power conversion efficiency comparable to devices with TiO2 layers prepared by the common sol-gel process relying on high-temperature calcination. Thus the novel UV curable TiO2 formulation is promising as printable electron transport layers for flexible devices, which are not compatible with thermal processing.
