Abstract

A single layer of organic solar cells with the Al/P3HT/PEDOT: PSS/ITO structure on glass substrate was investigated in this paper, and examined the performance of the polymer solar cells by changing 60, 70 and 80 nm thickness of the P3HT active layer. These devices had better absorption in the active layer and poor charges collect in the electrode with increase thickness of active layer were observed. It is found that the best properties that the single layer organic solar cell with open-circuit voltage 0.457 V, short-circuit current 1.05E-4 mA and power conversion efficiency of 3.3E-5% was achieved under illumination 100 mW/cm2 when the thickness of P3HT active layer is about 80 nm.
