Performance parameters degradation of inverted organic solar cells exposed under solar and artificial irradiance, using PTB7:PC70BM as active layer

In this work, the degradation of inverted bulk heterojunction organic solar cells (BHJ-OSC) exposed under solar and under artificial irradiance conditions is studied. The photovoltaic devices were based on the polymer PTB7 and the fullerene PC
₇₀
BM and partially fabricated under air environment. The current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics of the devices were obtained at room temperature, under both dark and illumination conditions for a period of up to 1344 h. The samples were stored, between measurements, in a glove box under nitrogen environment.
