Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>An improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) of bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic cell (OPV) was achieved by inserting an n‐type [6, 6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) layer between the active layer and a metal electrode. The controlled substrate temperature was found to be a useful parameter for the multilayer structure (active layer/ PCBM) by the electrospray deposition method. Under optimized substrate temperature during the PCBM deposition, a multilayer structure could be formed, and the PCE was improved up to 1.94%.</p> <p> <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"> <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t6mrkq1" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /> </boxed-text> </p> <p>(© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co.
