Abstract

We demonstrate series-connected hybrid tandem multijunction photovoltaics by combining hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and polymer-based organic photovoltaics (OPVs). To utilize the wide solar spectrum with cost-effective processes, we employed a solution-processed low band gap OPV subcell onto the a-Si:H subcell. The interfacial contact between the subcells strongly affects the photovoltaic performance of the tandem cells. By using MoO₃ as an efficient hole transporting intermediate layer instead of the conventional conducting polymer, we obtained power conversion efficiency of 1.84% and open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 1.50 V which corresponds closely to the sum of VOC s of the subcells.
