Abstract

Semitransparent organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells promise applications in various transparent architectures where their opaque counterparts cannot contribute. Realizing practical applications of this technology requires the manufacturing of large-area modules without significant performance loss compared to the lab-scale devices. In this work, efficient semitransparent OPV modules based on ultrafast laser patterning on both glass and flexible substrates are reported. Solution-processed metallic silver nanowires (AgNWs) are used as transparent top electrodes. The efficient low-ohmic contact of the interconnects between the top AgNWs and the bottom electrode in combination with high-precision laser beam positioning system allow to fabricate semitransparent modules with high electrical fill factor of approximate to 63% and a remarkable geometric fill factor exceeding 95%, respectively. These results represent an important progress toward upscaling of high-performance OPV modules with reduced production costs.
