Abstract | The all-solution-processed switchable interconnecting layer (ICL) for both inverted and normal tandem organic solar cells (OSCs) is reported for the first time here. The fundamental challenges in the literature arise from mixing multiple functionalities into a single layer. For a widely used ICL composed of an electron transport layer (ETL)/a hole transport layer (HTL), ETL needs not only to efficiently extract electrons from an underneath photoactive layer, but also to fulfill optical, mechanical, chemical and electrical requirements to function as effective tunneling junction ICL with HTL atop. Taking on multiple functionalities for a single ETL makes ETL in ICL highly coupled and difficult to be replaced. This is also the case for HTL. Here, this study demonstrates an all-solution-processed switchable ICL, ETL/recombination layer (RL)/HTL and HTL/RL/ETL, for both normal and inverted tandem OSCs. In switchable ICL, ETL and HTL simply serve as carrier transport layers as they did in single OSCs. Electrical recombination, mechanical protection and chemical separation functionalities are realized by RL alone. This strategy shifts the views of ICL for tandem OSCs from conventionally complicated ETL/HTL tunneling junction ICL, where both ETL and HTL play several different roles, towards simplified ICL where ETL and HTL play a distinct decoupled role, advancing ICL for more adaptable tandem OSCs. © 2017 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
