Abstract

Abstract:

The development of new active layer materials and the precise regulation of active layer morphologies have greatly facilitated the advances of organic photovoltaic cells（OPVs） and have recently enabled the power conversion efficiency（PCE） of small-area OPVs to exceed 19% in the laboratory. However， the preparation of efficient and stable large-area OPV modules still faces challenges for its industrialization in the future and draws great attention in recent years. Herein， high-performance large-area OPV modules were fabricated by using an infrared nanosecond laser to achieve accurate ablation and patterning of the individual functional layers. Compared to the commonly used femtosecond lasers for the fabrication of OPV modules， infrared nanosecond laser-assisted preparation of OPV modules is promising to reduce the manufacturing cost. The laser processing for the ablation of the individual layers was investigated and the damage to indium tin oxide（ITO） transparent electrode was effectively reduced by precise adjustment of laser parameters. The ablation of intermediate organic layers with weak infrared absorption was realized with the help of thermal effect coming from the under ITO layer. The large-area OPV module with an effective area of 28 cm² and a high geometric fill factor of more than 93% was fabricated and an overall PCE of 14.33% was achieved. The demonstrated preparation of large-area high-performance OPV module via ablation of infrared nanosecond laser holds potential to advance the development of large-area OPV devices and paves the way for its commercialization in the future.
