The development of an ideal solution processable transparent electrode has been a challenge in the field of semitransparent organic solar cells (ST-OSCs). We present a vertically stacked poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythipohene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) top electrode for all solution-processed ST-OSCs by a direct and sequential doping of PEDOT:PSS. A strongly polarized long perfluoro-sulfonic acid (F-acid) effectively eliminates insulating PSS and spontaneously crystallize PEDOT at room temperature, leading to outstanding electrical properties and transparency of PEDOT:PSS top electrodes. The PEDOT-based ST-OSCs yielded high power conversion efficiency of 10.9% while providing high average visible transmittance of 26.0% with vivid colors. Moreover, the strong infrared reflectivity of PEDOT enabled ST-OSCs to reject 62.6% of the heat emitted from sunlight (76.7% from infrared radiation) and outperformed thermal insulation capability compared to commercial tint films. This light management approach, assembling combines energy generation with energy saving, is a breakthrough towards sustainable energy in buildings.
