Green solution-processable organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) have the potential to provide low-cost, clean, and accessible electricity. However, there are few organic materials that are compatible with multi-layer film formatting from halogen-free solvents using scalable coating methods. Current research focuses on devices using tin oxide (SnO2). However, SnO2 has surface traps and requires a passivating layer to maximise performance. Therefore, it is crucial to develop electron deficient organic materials that can passivate metal oxides to achieve maximum device performance. Rendering these materials and films solvent resistance is thus a major goal. Herein, we show that SnO2 modified with a tyrosine appended perylene bisimide (PBI-Y) can be applied as an electron transport interlayer in PM6/Y6C12-based organic photovoltaic cells using an amine-based ink formulation. The SnO2/PBI-Y films are characterised by optical absorption spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy and exhibit solvent resistance. The electrical characterisation shows that a PBI modification improves the conductivity of the SnO2. Spin-coated devices show a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 13%, among the best for all air-processed SnO2-based OPVs. Fully slot-die coated devices achieve PCEs of 10%, demonstrating the potential for scale-up. This work opens a viable and sustainable method to develop organic photovoltaic devices using more environmentally friendly processing conditions.
