电子纺织品是可穿戴技术的一个有前途的平台;但它面临着无处不在的供电挑战。一种方法是收集周围的太阳能。在这里，我们提出了一个完全解决方案处理的有机太阳能电池（OSC）直接制造的标准聚酯棉织物的表面上。柔性丝网印刷界面层用于选择性地使织物表面平滑，所有后续层都沉积在该织物表面上。构成OSC的活性层完全通过在氮气环境中使用喷涂或刮涂的溶液处理来沉积。工艺温度限制在150 °C，以保护织物。发现喷涂是将薄功能膜存款到织物上的可重复且可靠的方式，并且我们已经获得了1.23%的最大效率，证明了这种方法用于在任何标准纺织品上制造OSC的可行性。
E-textiles are a promising platform for wearable technologies; but it faces the ubiquitous challenge of supplying power. One approach is to harvest ambient solar energy. Here, we present a fully solution processed organic solar cell (OSC) fabricated directly on to the surface of a standard polyester cotton fabric. A flexible screen printed interface layer is used to selectively smooth the fabric surface on to which all subsequent layers were deposited. The active layers making up the OSC were deposited entirely by solution processing using either spray coating or doctor blading in a nitrogen environment. Process temperatures are limited to 150 °C to protect the fabric. Spray coating is found to be a repeatable and reliable way to deposit thin functional films onto the fabric and we have obtained a maximum efficiency of 1.23% demonstrating the feasibility of this approach for fabricating OSCs on any standard textile.
