Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2fk0tr2b" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />We report a simple approach to significantly improve the chemical stability of high efficiency PBDTTT-EFT:PC₇₁BM solar cells. The introduction of an anti-solvent treatment during the spin-coating process induces the fast deposition of the active layer and the prompt removal of residual DIO from the film.</p> </abstract>
