Abstract

Transparent conducting electrodes (TCEs) with multi‐length scaled structure are promising candidates as a potential replacement for indium tin oxide (ITO). In this work, multi‐length scaled silver nanowire (AgNW) grids are demonstrated as TCEs for organic solar cells. The multi‐length scale silver nanowire grids are prepared by top‐down patterning using a neutral vapor etching process. Patterning AgNW film into multi‐length scale grid structures could improve the optical transmittance and enhance the use of incident photons. Based on these multi‐length scale AgNW grids, inverted bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells with power conversion efficiency up to 9.02% are fabricated, which are higher than that based on the original AgNW films and comparable to that based on ITO.
