Imprinted electrodes for enhanced light trapping in solution processed solar cells

Abstract

A simple approach is demonstrated to combine a light trapping scheme and a conductive substrate for solution processed solar cells. By means of soft lithography, a new light-trapping architecture can be integrated as the bottom electrode for emerging thin-film solar-cell technologies without added costs, fully compatible with low-temperature processes, and yielding an enhancement in the photocurrent without altering the rest of the electrical performance of the device. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
