Ultrathin metallic interlayers in vacuum deposited MoOx/metal/MoOx electrodes for organic solar cells

We attempted to find correlations between the chemical properties of embedded metals and the structural/conducting properties of composite electrodes. In general, the electrodes with noble metal interlayers feature a better conductivity, whereas their average transparency in the visible and near infrared range is similar to that of electrodes with reactive metals. Diffusion and oxidation processes in composite electrodes were examined by the SIMS depth profiling technique.
