An effective way to improve the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of organic solar cells is to use a tandem structure, in which two organic solar cells with different absorption characteristics are linked to use a wider range of the solar spectrum. Herein, we report the fabrication of tandem solar cells with an all-solution processed multilayer structure utilizing a conventional structure composed of non-peripherally substituted octahexyl tetrabenzotriazaporphyrins and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as donors in the back and front cells, respectively. A transparent ZnO layer functions in electron transport for the front cell and as a stable foundation for the fabrication of the back cell to complete the tandem cell architecture. As a result, the tandem cell exhibited a relatively high open-circuit voltage of 1.4V. Furthermore, by vapor-annealing treatment, the crystallization of the P3HT-conjugated polymer was improved and a PCE of 3.2% was achieved for the tandem cell with 5-min vapor-annealing treatment.
