In this work, we have studied degradation mechanisms of nonfullerene-based organic solar cells with PET/Ag/ZnO/PBDTB-T:ITIC/PEDOT:PSS/CPP PEDOT:PSS device structure. We compare pristine and degraded samples that were subjected to outdoor degradation following the standard ISOS-O2 protocol. The ideality factors for different incident wavelengths obtained from open-circuit voltage vs irradiation level and current density–voltage (J–V) measurements at different temperatures indicate that for aged samples recombination is governed by the Shockley–Read–Hall mechanism occurring in a region near the anode. Samples were also characterized using impedance spectroscopy (IS) and fitted to an electrical model. Impedance parameters were used to obtain mobility, indicating a clear degradation of the active layer blend for aged samples. The change in the chemical capacitance also reveals a worsening in carrier extraction. Finally, two-dimensional (2D) numerical simulations and fits to experimental J–V curves confirm the existence of a layer near the anode contact with poorer mobility and a decrease in the anode work function (WF) for the degraded samples. ; This work was supported by Comunidad de Madrid under the SINFOTON2-CM Research Program (S2018/NMT-4326-SINFOTON2-CM) and the Spanish Ministry of Economy, the Agencia Estatal de Investigación, and European Union's FEDER under the TEC2016−77242-C1/C2/C3 AEI/FEDER, UE Projects.

Visible light communication systems can be used in a wide variety of applications, from driving to home automation. The use of wearables can increase the potential applications in indoor systems to send and receive specific and customized information. We have designed and developed a fully organic and flexible Visible Light Communication system using a flexible OLED, a flexible P3HT:PCBM-based organic photodiode (OPD) and flexible PCBs for the emitter and receiver conditioning circuits. We have fabricated and characterized the I-V curve, modulation response and impedance of the flexible OPD. As emitter we have used a commercial flexible organic luminaire with dimensions 99 × 99 × 0.88 mm, and we have characterized its modulation response. All the devices show frequency responses that allow operation over 40 kHz, thus enabling the transmission of high quality audio. Finally, we integrated the emitter and receiver components and its electronic drivers, to build an all-organic flexible VLC system capable of transmitting an audio file in real-time, as a proof of concept of the indoor capabilities of such a system. ; This Project was funded by Comunidad de Madrid through the SINFOTON-CM Research Program (S2013/MIT-2790), and the Spanish Ministry of Economy, the Agencia Estatal de Investigación and European Union's FEDER through the TEC2016-77242-C3-(1-R, 2-R and 3-R) AEI/FEDER, UE Projects.
