Abstract

For the blend film of PBDTTT-C-T:PC71 BM, the use of 1,8-diiodooctane as the solvent additive enriches the polymer at the top surface, so that a power conversion efficiency of 9.13% is recorded in the inverted polymer solar cell based on the blend, which is much higher than that of the device with conventional structure.
