We investigate the stacked structure of bulkheterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells based on conjugated polymer and fullerene derivative by the solution processing, especially spin coating method. Poly[2-methoxy-5-(3',7'-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene], (MDMO-PPV) blended with [6,6]-phenyl C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) are used as a photo-active layer. The stacked-cell structure is as follows: ITO/(lower BHJ cell) PEDOT:PSS/MDMO-PPV:PCBM/inter-layer/(upper BHJ cell) PEDOT:PSS/MDMO-PPV:PCBM/Al. We evaluate Ag and ITO as materials of inter-layer to connect the upper BHJ cell with the lower BHJ cell. High open circuit voltage (V_OC) BHJ organic solar cell is obtained by using ITO inter-layer. V_OC of stacked-cell with ITO inter-layer is 1.31 ± 0.04 V under 100 mW/cm² illumination intensity, the AM 1.5 solar simulator. This is about 1.6 times as large as that of single BHJ organic solar cell. By virtue of inserting ITO inter-layer, the upper BHJ cell can be formed without damaging the lower BHJ cell and consequently stacked-cell in which two BHJ cells are connected in series can be fabricated. Moreover, the origin of V_OC of stacked-cell is likely the sum of each V_OC of the upper and the lower BHJ cells, and is different from that of stacked small molecule heterojunction organic solar cells. In the case of Ag interlayer, stacked-cell does not work at all. From the elemental analyses of device cross section, Ag layer seems to be damaged by PEDOT:PSS solution.
