Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Solid-state hole-transporting materials, including the traditional poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), and recently developed 4,4′-(naphthalene-2,6-diyl)bis(N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)aniline) (NAP) and (E)-4′,4‴-(ethene-1,2-diyl)bis(N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-[1″,1‴-biphenyl]-4-amine) (BPV), have been applied as a hole-transporting interlayer (HTL) for graphene oxide/single-walled carbon nanotube–silicon (GOCNT/Si) heterojunction solar cells, forming a GOCNT/HTL/Si architecture. The influence of the thickness of the HTL has been studied. A new AuCl3 doping process based on bath immersion has been developed and proved to improve the efficiency. With the AuCl3-doped GOCNT electrodes, the efficiency of GOCNT/PEDOT:PSS/Si, GOCNT/NAP/Si, and GOCNT/BPV/Si devices was improved to 12.05 ± 0.21, 10.57 ± 0.37, and 10.68 ± 0.27 % respectively. This study reveals that the addition of an HTL is able to dramatically minimise recombination at the heterojunction interface.

Laser-deposited Fe2O3 films or dye-fixed TiO2 films were prepared for solar cells. For both the cells, a single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) film or a Pt-loaded SWNT film, prepared by simply pasting over ITO glass, was used as a counter electrode. Stable current (I)-voltage (V) curves were found under UV-visible light irradiation using water containing KI and I2 as an electrolyte. A comparison of I-V curves was made for Pt alone and SWNT alone films used as a counter electrode. Almost similar efficiency was found by using both types of counter electrodes. However, enhanced efficiency was obtained for the Pt-loaded SWNT-film counter electrode.Keywords: TiO2; Fe2O3 film; Solar cell; SWNT.© 2009 JSR Publications.
