Abstract

The use of a solution-processed gold chloride (AuCl₃) as an anode interfacial modifier was investigated for high-performance polymer solar cells (PSCs). Kelvin probe, 4-point probe, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies demonstrated that AuCl₃ increases the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) work-function and decreases the ITO sheet resistance, because of Au nanoparticle formation and Cl adsorption by the AuCl₃ treatment to induce a p-doping effect, thereby improving the built-in potential and interface resistance. As a result, the introduction of AuCl₃ by simple solution processing remarkably improved cell-performances, indicating that AuCl ₃ is an efficient anode interfacial modifier for enhancing PSC-performance.
