Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201302303-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Polymer solar cells</bold> are fabricated on highly conductive, transparent amorphous zinc indium tin oxide (a‐ZITO) electrodes. For two representative active layer donor polymers, P3HT and PTB7, the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) are comparable to reference devices using polycrystalline indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. Benefitting from the amorphous character of a‐ZITO, the new devices are highly flexible and can be repeatedly bent to a radius of 5 mm without significant PCE reduction. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4sr9bhrz" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
