Original abstract

Lab-scale organic solar cells have shown high efficiency and strong potential for large-scale production. Among the fabrication techniques for upscaling production, roll-to-roll slot-die coating offers a cost-effective route toward scalable manufacturing. However, reliable in-line metrology is needed for real-time assessment and quality control of the coating during roll-to-roll manufacturing. In this work, we employ a hyperspectral camera for inline monitoring of P3HT and OIDTBR active layers in a roll-to-roll setup. Using multivariate curve resolution, we reliably resolved the spatial distribution of donor and acceptor contributions in the coating. Furthermore, by fitting the absorbance spectra of P3HT, we map the exciton bandwidth, providing insights into the polymer's aggregation and chain interactions. These results demonstrate the potential of hyperspectral imaging as a powerful tool for real-time monitoring and quality control in large-scale organic solar cell production.
