How to study the degradation?This is very unstable device

Thanks Noura, I am going to start the stability work. I will let you know others details layer. Now I want to know which technique are good and how we encapsulate the device to measure the data for stability. Because it would not work in ambient atmosphere.

How do I calculate work function from contact potential difference (Vcpd) in kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM)?

I am doing the SKPFM of some sample. The scale bar ( nap potentail image) is giving the maximum and minimum value of Vcpd. I want to know whether the average value of Vcpd is equal to work...

In a solar cell module, do the silver lines which are used as electrodes reflect incoming light?

Although it should, but do we really take into account their area while calculating efficiency because in that particular area no light is actually absorbed.

Why is the short circuit current calculated from EQE measurement different to Jsc from I-V measurement? Could it be corrected?

I have calculated Jsc from EQE measurement which is almost 1mA/cm2 less than normal Jsc measured from solar cell I-V data. Could anyone help to correct it. I will be very thankful.

How do you reduce the de-wetting of P3HT:PCBM solution on ITO coated substrates?

I am making P3HT:PCBM film on ITO coated substrate but I am getting the film with small particles over the surface(see attached pic). Is it due to dewetting or due to non-mixing of P3HT:PCBM? Is...
