AbstractNanostructured phase-separated blends, or bulk heterojunctions, of conjugated polymers and fullerene derivatives form a very attractive approach to large-area, solid-state organic solar cells. The key feature of these cells is that they combine easy processing from solution on a variety of substrates with good performance. Efficiencies of up to 5% in solar light have been achieved, and lifetimes are increasing to thousands of hours. Further improvements can be expected and some of the promising strategies towards that goal are presented in this article.

ABSTRACTSolid state PbS Quantum Dots (QDs)/TiO2 Nanoparticles heterojunction solar cells were produced by depositing PbS QDs on a 500nm thick Mesoscopic TiO2 films using layer-by-layer deposition. The heterojunction solar cells show photovoltaic response from the visible to the near infra-red region. Importantly, the PbS QDs act here as photosensitizers and at the same time as hole conductors. The PbS QDs/TiO2 device produces a remarkable short circuit photocurrent (Jsc) of 16.3 mA/cm2, an open circuit photovoltage (Voc) of 0.54 V and a fill factor (FF) of 0.41, corresponding to a light to electric power conversion efficiency (η) of 4.04% under 0.9 sun intensity.
