Title: Multijunction organic photovoltaics incorporating solution and vacuum deposited active layers

Abstract

There is disclosed an organic photovoltaic device comprising at least one first subcell comprising at least one first small molecular weight material deposited by solution processing, and at least one second subcell comprising a weight at least one second small molecular material deposited by vacuum evaporation. Also disclosed herein is a method for preparing an organic photovoltaic device comprising at least one first subcell comprising at least one first small molecular weight material and at least one second subcell comprising at least one second small molecular weight material, the method comprising depositing at least one first small weight material by solution processing; and depositing at least one second small weight material by vacuum evaporation.
