Ink-jet printing is used to deposit polymer:fullerene blends suitable as active layer for organic solar cells. We show that merging of separately deposited ink droplets into a continuous, pinhole-free organic thin film results from a balance between ink viscosity and surface wetting, whereas for certain of the studied solutions clear coffee drop effect occurs for single droplets; this can be minimized for larger printed areas, yielding smooth layers with minimal surface roughness. Resulting organic films are used as active layer for solar cells with power conversion efficiency of 1.4% under simulated AM1.5 solar illumination. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
