Induced crystallization of sol–gel-derived zinc oxide for efficient non-fullerene polymer solar cells

We demonstrate a novel strategy for induced crystallization of zinc oxide (ic-ZnO) that shows increased crystallinity relative to sol–gel derived zinc oxide, which is also proved to reduce the interfacial charge recombination efficiently in PSCs.
