Abstract: The interface between organic active layer and anode or cathode plays an important role in the performance of organic solar cells（OSCs）. This paper reviewed the types and work mechanisms of different interface buffer layers applied in OSCs. The research results show that interface modification can improve OSCs performance including power conversion efficiency，device lifetime and stability. Thus，the research of characteristics of buffer layer is helpful for optimizing device structure and performance. Additionally，this review also provides valuable concepts of successful application of other buffer materials in OSCs.
