title: Aqueous Solution-Deposited Molybdenum Oxide Films as an Anode Interfacial Layer for Organic Solar Cells.
abstract: In this study, we report the growth of molybdenum oxide (MoOx) film by polymer-assisted deposition (PAD), an environmentally friendly strategy in an aqueous system. The MoOx film has good crystal quality and is dense and smooth. The transparency of the film is >95% in the wavelength range of 300-900 nm. The device based on P3HT:PCBM absorber material was fabricated. The solar cell with PAD-MoOx as an anode interfacial layer exhibits great performance, even better than that of a solar cell with
  PSS or evaporated MoOx as an anode interfacial layer. More importantly, the solar cells based on the growth of MoOx have a longer term stability than that of solar cells based on
  PSS. These results demonstrate the aqueous PAD technology provides an alternative strategy not only for the thin films' growth of applied materials but also for the solution processing for the low-cost fabrication of future materials to be applied in the field of solar cells.
