The ISOS-3 inter-laboratory collaboration focused on the stability of a variety of organic photovoltaic devices
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2011
Seven distinct sets (n ¢ 12) of state of the art organic photovoltaic devices were prepared by leading
research laboratories in a collaboration planned at the Third International Summit on Organic
Photovoltaic Stability (ISOS-3). All devices were shipped to RISØ DTU and characterized
simultaneously up to 1830 h in accordance with established ISOS-3 protocols under three distinct
illumination conditions: accelerated full sun simulation; low level indoor fluorescent lighting; and dark storage with daily measurement under full sun simulation. Three nominally identical devices
were used in each experiment both to provide an assessment of the homogeneity of the samples and to
distribute samples for a variety of post soaking analytical measurements at six distinct laboratories
enabling comparison at various stages in the degradation of the devices. Over 100 devices with more
than 300 cells were used in the study. We present here design and fabrication details for the seven
device sets, benefits and challenges associated with the unprecedented size of the collaboration,
characterization protocols, and results both on individual device stability and uniformity of device
sets, in the three illumination conditions.
