Effect Of Surface

We present the results on the effect of surface morphology and dispersion media on the properties of PEDOT:PSS/n-Si hybrid solar cell containing functionalized graphene (Gr). The hybrid solar cells based on SiNWs showed higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared to the planar based cells due to suppressing the carrier recombination and improving carrier transport efficiency. The PCE of hybrid solar cells could be improved by adding Gr into PEDOT:PSS. Different solvents including deionized (DI) water, ethylene glycol (EG), and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) were used as media for Gr dispersion. The best performance was obtained for the cell containing Gr dispersed in EG with a measured PCE of 7.33% and nearly 13% and 16% enhancement in comparison with the cells using Gr dispersed in IPA and DI water, respectively. The increase in PCE is attributed to improving the carrier-mobility, electrical conductivity, PEDOT crystallinity, and ordering.

Solar energy is one in all few sources to renewable power and it is considerably critical in our each day lifestyles usage thus resulted to ensure the practicality and usefulness of the devices which regularly used to capture and manipulate solar energy. In this work, studies the effect of conjugated chlorophyll (iCHLO) on power conversion efficiency with relation of iCHLO where optical and electrical properties were investigated. These hybrid solar cells consist of combination of organic (Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonate) and iCHLO) and inorganic (Titanium Dioxide, TiO2) materials. These hybrid solar cells were fabricated bilayer of ITO/TiO2/PEDOT: PSS/iCHLO/Al. Chlorophyll compound (CHLO) was extracted from the Pandanus amaryllifolius leaves. CHLO undergoes conjugate process by oxidation polymerization using Ferric Chloride (FeCl3) as catalyst. Different percentage of FeCl3 was varied by 5%, 10% and 15% of CHLO molecular weight. Result shows that UV-Vis absorption spectra of CHLO was absorbed in the range of 400 nm – 600 nm (CHLO-PA) and 240 nm - 360 nm (iCHLO-PA). The highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) was obtained at 1.33% and electrical conductivity is 0.135 Scm1 for ITO/TiO2/PEDOT: PSS/iCHLO-PA 10% hybrid solar cell.

Cadmium Sulfide Nanoparticles

Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdS-n) are excellent electron acceptor for hybrid solar cell applications. However, the particle size and properties of the CdS-n products depend largely on the synthesis methodologies. In this work, CdS-n were synthetized by microwave heating using thioacetamide (TA) or thiourea (TU) as sulfur sources. The obtained CdS-n(TA) showed a random distribution of hexagonal particles and contained TA residues. The latter could originate the charge carrier recombination process and cause a low photovoltage (Voc, 0.3 V) in the hybrid solar cells formed by the inorganic particles and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). Under similar synthesis conditions, in contrast, CdS-n synthesized with TU consisted of spherical particles with similar size and contained carbonyl groups at their surface. CdS-n(TU) could be well dispersed in the nonpolar P3HT solution, leading to aVocof about 0.6–0.8 V in the resulting CdS-n(TU) : P3HT solar cells. The results of this work suggest that the reactant sources in microwave methods can affect the physicochemical properties of the obtained inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles, which finally influenced the photovoltaic performance of related hybrid solar cells.

Conversion Materials

We report on the structural characterization and the photovoltaic performances of novel photoelectric conversion materials fabricated by simplified and cheap procedures based on a chemical approach. Our prepared composite microparticles were composed of fluorosilicate/phosphorus oxide holding together by ammonium. When such composite microparticles were used in the active layer of the hybrid solar cells, the relatively high Jsc was obtained by causing the adequate carrier transport from the active layer to each electrode, attaining the best photovoltaic performance with a PCE of 4.45 %. These findings indicate that the fluorosilicate/phosphorus oxide composite microparticles have sufficient ability as the photoelectric conversion materials.
