Solution processed tin oxide (SnO sub(x)) is used as an electron extraction interlayer in organic solar cells. As opposed to devices using TiO sub(x), cells based on SnO sub(x) are stable even at elevated temperatures in the presence of moisture. Thus, by using SnO sub(x) instead of TiO sub(x) the r...
