Roll‐to‐Roll Inkjet Printing and Photonic Sintering of Electrodes for ITO Free Polymer Solar Cell Modules and Facile Product Integration

Abstract

Small polymer solar cell modules that are manufactured without indium-tin-oxide using only roll-to-roll printing and coating techniques under ambient conditions enable facile integration into a simple demonstrator (for example a laser pointer). Semitransparent front electrode grid structures prepared by roll-to-roll inkjet printing in conjunction with photonic sintering enable preparation of complete modules on flexible substrates and subsequent integration of the modules into a laser pointer demonstrator.
