Abstract

The hole transport layer (HTL) affects the device performance and stability of organic solar cells. In this work, a stable molybdenum oxide (MoO_x) hole transport layer with low cost was prepared by adjusting the state of the precursor solution with an alcoholic solution of molybdenum acetylacetonate through an oxidant. The MoO_x transport layer has good transmittance with a work function of 5.07 eV and higher surface energy. The PM6:Y6 devices using MoO_x HTL achieve a high efficiency of 16.8%. MoO_x HTL exhibits good applicability with excellent performance in both ternary and all-polymer systems. Air storage stability T₈₀ of the all-polymer device using MoO_x HTL was over 600 h, much higher than 70 h of the PEDOT:PSS-based device, and its thermal stability at 85 °C and operational stability under light show better stability than that of the PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer. This work provides a facile and low-cost method to fabricate HTL for organic solar cells, which is beneficial to improve their efficiency and stability.
