Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A high‐performance semitransparent tandem solar cell that uses solution‐processed graphene mesh and laminated Ag NW as a transparent anode and cathode, respectively, is demonstrated. The laminated top electrode can be deposited without causing any damage to the underneath organic solar cells. Power conversion efficiencies of 8.02% and 6.47% are obtained when the light is projected from the solution‐processed graphene mesh and laminated AgNW, respectively. The performance of the tandem cell is found to be comparable to a tandem solar cell fabricated using commercially available indium tin oxide. These findings offer a high‐performance device and open a new pathway in searching for a potential replacement to the frequently used transparent conducting electrodes.</p> </abstract>
