Definition
1. An organic solar cell, comprising an organic photoconductive layer comprising a charge generating substance and a charge transporting substance, and a protective layer covering the organic photoconductive layer blocking low-wavelength light of below 450 nm. Because of the presence of the protective layer, a change in photo-current due to photo-degradation of the charge transporting substance is suppressed while maintaining a high photo-electric conversion efficiency.
[[GlossaryDefinition::2. An organic solar cell or plastic solar cell is a type of photovoltaic that uses organic electronics, a branch of electronics that deals with conductive organic polymers or small organic molecules,[1] for light absorption and charge transport to produce electricity from sunlight by the photovoltaic effect. Most organic photovoltaic cells are polymer solar cells.]]
