TITANIUM METAL AS ELECTRODE FOR ORGANIC SOLAR CELLS, FLEXIBLE ORGANIC SOLAR CELL ON TI FOIL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

Titanium metal is used as an electrode in organic solar cells. Methods of making an organic photovoltaic cell are described using titanium foil that is etched using lower and higher concentrations of a hydrofluoric acid solution. Subsequently, other layers were disposed on the titanium foil to complete the solar cell. Etching at the lower concentration for about 30 seconds properly treated the surface of the electrode and resulted in an advantageous solar cell. Etching at the higher concentrations resulted in a poor morphology that resulted in poor performance.
