Abstract

In this study, Sulfonated poly
(diphenylamine): Ag nanowire network transparent conductive electrode was prepared that is
expected to have high transparency and low resistance for organic solar cells.
The resistance value was 10 Ωsq^-1 and the optical
permeability value was 88% with Sulfonated poly (diphenylamine): Ag nanowire
network electrode. By using the
electrode in organic solar cell, the solar cell efficiency was obtained 2.7%.
The prepared Sulfonated poly (diphenylamine): Ag nanowire network electrode is an alternative to Indium tin oxide
for use in organic electronic devices as a promising electrode and can also be
used in flexible electronic applications.
