Organic photovoltaics, reaching efficiencies around 8% (Heliatek, Solarmer), have become a promising technology for future energy supply. It has the potential to be cost-effective, to use little material and to utilize advanced thin film production methods like roll to roll manufacturing. Requirements for producing such a low-cost and flexible product include a highly transparent, flexible electrode. Looking for alternatives to the dominant oxide electrodes, transparent, conductive electrodes were prepared by PEDOT:PSS deposited from solution, by deposition of metal nanowires, and by a combination thereof. As recently demonstrated by us, solvent treated PEDOT electrodes can be successfully integrated into OPV cells, showing similar performance than ITO. The application of conductive metal nanoparticles, e.g. silver nanowires as random mesh electrode is showing even better performance. Low sheet resistances and good transmission can be achieved in a percolation network of high aspect ratio nanowires with low space-fill ratios.
