Understanding the device degradation mechanism is crucial for polymer solar cells (PSCs) commercialization. Here, the shelf degradation of PTB7-Th:PC70BM PSC with different electron transport layers (ETL) is investigated in accordance with ISOS-D1 protocol using a combined frequency and time resolved techniques. Both techniques provide an insight into how devices with different ETL were degraded and affected the active layer. Transient photovoltage / transient photocurrent (TPV / TPC) deliver information of the increasing trap density in the active layer upon degradation. Impedance spectroscopy (IS) promotes the change of interface trap density due to the defect of ETL/active layer interface upon degradation.
