Electrode grids for ITO-free organic photovoltaic devices
Silver grids are utilized to exclude the expensive use of indium tin oxide (ITO) in conjugated polymer photovoltaic devices. The grids are generated by electroless deposition from elastomeric microfluidic channels onto transparent substrates. The organic photovoltaic devices demonstrated here, with minimized series resistance, are confirmed to have characteristics comparable to devices exploiting ITO.
