    摘要: An organic solar cell includes a substrate; a first electrode; a second electrode disposed opposite the first electrode; a photoactive layer that is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and that comprises n-type organic semiconductor material and p-type organic semiconductor material; and an intermediate layer that is disposed on at least one surface of the photoactive layer and that contains a compound represented by Formula 1 below: where R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atoms, a carbonyl group, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, an amino group, a sulfonyl group, a phosphoryl group, straight-chain or branched C1-C7 alkyl groups, and straight-chain or branched C8-C20 alkyl groups, wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are not all the same. The organic solar cells have enhanced photostability due to introduction of the intermediate layer.
