Hybrid solar cells based on blends of a conjugated polymer, poly-3(hexylthiophene) (P3HT), and silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) have been developed and characterized. The properties of composite Si NCs/P3HT films which were spun from 1, 2-dichlorobenzene were studied. Under A.M. 1.5 direct illumination conditions (100mW/cm2), devices made with 50wt% 3–5nm Si NCs showed 1.33% power conversion efficiency (PCE) and had a 30% incident-photon-to-current conversion efficiency at 470 nm.

This work aims to enhance the power conversion efficiency of PEDOT:PSS/Si hybrid solar cells by reducing the resistance of PEDOT:PSS of hybrid solar cells using simple solvent treatment. A noticeable decrease in resistance of PEDOT:PSS layer was found after treating with DMSO and methanol using the dipping method or the mixing method. The combinations of these two methods allow us to greatly enhance the fill factor and power conversion efficiency of hybrid solar cells due to the significant reduction in Rs.
