    摘要: Organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) and their compositions are described herein. In one or more embodiments, the OPV or solar cell includes a first electrode (e.g., cathode); a second electrode (e.g., anode); an active layer positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a channel layer positioned between the first electrode and the active layer, wherein the channel layer is configured to laterally disperse a charge across the channel layer. In certain examples, the first electrode is arranged in a grid structure having a plurality of electrode segments and a respective opening between adjacent segments of the first electrode.
