Lifetime of organic solar cells (OSCs) is much depending on the intrinsic stability of the photoactive layer and its resistance to oxidation process. The encapsulation and the thermal annealing are the known methods to reduce degradation caused due to oxygen ingress which could potentially prolong s...
