Abstract

A highly efficient polymer solar cell was fabricated using a polar fullerene derivative C60 pyrrolidine tris-acid (CPTA) as the cathode buffer layer. By introducing CPTA, the Voc, Jsc and FF were all much enhanced simultaneously. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) was significantly improved to 7.92%, which outperformed the device using Ca/Al as the cathode in our experiment.
