The structural, electrical and optical properties of FZTO thin films were investigated. The multilayer of the FZTO (40 nm)/Ag (9 nm)/FZTO (40 nm) electrode shows the maximum optical transmittance (λ=380–770 nm) of 88.15%, quite low electrical resistivity of ~8×10−5 Ω cm and the corresponding figure of merit (T10/Rsq) is equivalent to 3.46×10−2 Ω−1. A normal organic photovoltaic׳s (OPV) structure of poly[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b]dithiophene-2,6-diyl][3-fluoro-2-[(2 ethylhexyl)carbonyl]thieno[3,4-b]-thiophenediyl] (PTB7): phenyl-C70-butyric acid methyl ester (PC70BM) was fabricated on glass/FZTO/Ag/FZTO to examine the compatibility of OPV as a transparent conducting electrode. The bulk hetero-junction organic photovoltaic׳s device fabricated on the multilayer FAF electrode exhibited open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.72 V, a short circuit current (Jsc) of 12.28 mA/cm2, a fill factor (FF) of 0.54. These properties are analogous to Voc=0.75 V, Jsc=14.87 mA/cm2, FF=0.53 on commercial indium tin oxide (ITO). A resultant power conversion efficiency of 4.84% is comparable with the 5.90% of the same OPV structure on the commercial ITO as a reference. This reveals that FZTO/Ag/FZTO multilayer electrode is a promising electrode scheme for bulk hetero-junction organic photovoltaic׳s cells (BHJ-OPVs).
