Organic Solar Cells: A Review of Materials, Limitations, and Possibilities for Improvement (2013, background): “Initial attempts to create tandem cells failed to achieve the expected increase in PCE (Dennler et al. 2006) because they were based on multilayer fabrication technology, where the two subcells are stacked together without placing a buffer layer in between them.”
Recent Advances in Organic Solar Cells (2007, background): “One example is the tandem cell where one subcell is made of P3HT:PCBM and the second of ZnPc:C60 [131].”
Solution-processable polymeric solar cells: A review on materials, strategies and cell architectures to overcome 10% (2015, background): “Therefore, materials with complementary absorptions are stacked together in the same tandem device in order to broaden the overall absorption of the resulting cell and cover more efficiently the emission spectrum of the Sun [19,20,158,159, 166–174].”
Recent trends in polymer tandem solar cells research (2013, methodology): “In the early years of polymer solar cells development, the demonstration of the tandem polymer solar cell concept were first conducted based on the VOC addition using two photovoltaic cells that were fabricated from the same conjugated polymer (PPV derivative or P3HT) [32–34] or polymer/small molecu”
