Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A power conversion efficiency of up to 8.91% is obtained for a solution‐processed polymer tandem solar cells based on a large‐bandgap polymer, poly(4, 4‐dioctyldithieno(3, 2‐b:2′, 3′‐d)silole)‐2, 6‐diyl‐<italic>alt</italic>‐(2, 1, 3‐benzothiadiazole)‐4, 7‐diyl) with a polymeric interconnecting layer to electrically connect the front and rear subcells, demonstrating that proper device and interface engineering are can improve the performance of polymer tandem solar cells.</p> </abstract>
