Abstract
The use of plasma deposited organic thin films as the interlayer component in organic solar cells applications is demonstrated for the first time. Up to 20% increase in solar cell device performance was observed when an interlayer deposited from the vapour of 4-methylthiazole was used. This work demonstrates the potential of plasma deposition of organic films to be integrated in fabrication of organic solar cells with superior properties.
