Abstract

This work covers the use of solution-processed metal oxides as interface layers for organic solar cells. To study the interface properties, intrinsic and Al-doped ZnO x were chosen as reference systems. From the class of n-type metal oxides, ZnO x was chosen because it can be doped when it is solution processed. Furthermore, the influence of thin modification layers applied on top of the metal oxides is investigated.
