In contrast to common solar cells based on silicon, organic solar cells have the potential to be cheap and flexible. The latter is especially important for mass-production (Roll-to-Roll-processing), mobile applications and low-cost, lightweight installations. However, flexibility poses a challenge for stable encapsulation of the organic solar cell to prevent it from degradation due to oxygen and water vapor. It is common agreement that the transmission rates for these species should be 1E-4 g/m^2*d or lower - four to five orders of magnitude below the rate of a typical polymer foil. Transmission rates that low are not only difficult to achieve but also difficult to measure. Ready-to-use commercial devices based on coulometry only reach a sensitivity of 5E-4 g/m^2*d.
In this work we use an electrical Ca-test as a sensor for water vapor and oxygen. Its sensitivity is in the range of 5E-5 g/m^2*d or better.
Furthermore we show water-vapour-transmission-rates achieved by different barrier layers on polymer-foil, e. g. sputtered oxides, and compare them with the rates achieved by bare polymer- and commercial barrier-foils.
