Transport Resistance Dominates the Fill Factor Losses in Record Organic Solar Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Organic photovoltaics are a promising solar cell technology, but even the record devices with 20% efficiency have significant fill factor losses due to low active layer conductivities. In this Perspective, the authors describe the origin of these losses, discuss experimental methods for their quantification, and explain how to minimize them to optimize
