Abstract

Novel C(60)-based cross-linked films formed by electrodeposition are produced and used as the electron-collection layer in inverted polymer solar cells (PSCs). The electrodeposited films exhibit a low work function of 4.2 eV and the PSCs perform well, with power conversion efficiencies of up to 6.31%. This new kind of electrodeposited film affords more opportunities to develop modified electrodes with a low work function.
