Abstract :
One approach to improve device stability is using polymer/ZnO nanorod hybrid solar cell. In our solar cell, the interface of ITO/PEDOT:PSS can be avoided by employing ZnO nanorod using a hydrothermal method and the low-work-function metal Al can be replaced by Ag. ZnO nanorod is used as an excellent electron selective layer and Ag has the nature of less air sensitivity.
