For their wide applications in wearable devices, flexible organic solar cells (FOSCs) should have high power conversion efficiency (PCE), bendable and even foldable flexibility, and low fabrication cost. Herein, all-solution-processed FOSCs based on flexible hybrid transparent electrodes (FTE) of Ag nanowires (NWs) combined with PEDOT:PSS PH1000 doped with a small amount of ethylene glycol (EG) were fabricated. The photovoltaic performance of FOSCs is closely related to the substrate and the content of EG. The optimal content of 6 vol% EG doped in PH1000 has a positive effect on electrical conductivity, surface morphology and even flexibility. These FOSCs yield the best PCE of 10.30% with a short-circuit current density of 19.17 mA cm⁻² under optimal condition, which represent the highest efficiency reported to date for FOSCs with Ag NW electrodes. Furthermore, the optimal FOSCs demonstrate excellent mechanical flexibility, which can retain around 90% of the original PCE after 1000 bending cycles and exhibit over 75% of the original PCE even after complete folding. Our results demonstrate a new avenue to fabricate efficient and robust FOSCs with promising application potentials.
