Zinc oxide (ZnO) is widely used as an electron transport layer in inverted organic photovoltaics; however, it generates reactive oxygen species under ultraviolet irradiation, which promotes the degradation of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). In this study, the ZnO surface was modified with catechin, and the suppression of degradation of BTP-eC9, an NFA, was confirmed. In addition, the short-circuit current density and power conversion efficiency were improved, and the improvement in charge collection efficiency is considered to be the cause of these improvements.
