Session II: Solar Cells & Modules

2.1 S. Gevorgyan, DTU (DE), “Characterization of organic solar cells: Mechanical, electrical and photovoltaic stability”

Abstract:  The talk will cover the topic of stability characterization of interfaces in organic photovoltaic devices. Alterations of mechanical properties at the interfaces of organic solar cells during exposure to different ageing conditions and the investigation of electrical properties of the cells using impedance spectroscopy in combination with ISOS ageing tests will be discussed. The talk will be concluded with short overview of useful techniques for characterizing the interfaces of organic solar cells.
