Preparation of poly (o-toluidine) was doped by different volume ratios of cobalt chloride and characterized by (FT-IR, XRD and SEM). The results showed that the intensity of absorption increased while energy gaps of the prepared polymer decreased with respect to increasing ratio of the dopant where the direct and indirect energy gaps were calculated, in addition to edge of the absorption. Photovoltaic device was fabricated by deposit the prepared polymer on the n-type silicon by spin coating method, so the batter efficiency of the prepared devices was 3.02% which was tested under dark and illumination with intensity of 100mW/cm².

All of the TiO2 films including intrinsic TiO2 film, Zn single doped film with 2.0 at% content and N doped films with 4.0 at%, 6.0 at%, 8.0 at% and 10.0 at% content, were obtained by butyl titanate (Ti(OC4H9)4) as a titanium source, zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O) as zinc source and urea (H2 NCONH2) as nitrogen source, which was calcined at 600 °C on the glass substrate and Si substrate using sol–gel spin coating method. The structures, morphology and optical properties of various films were analyzed and studied by X ray diffract meter (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicated that the main crystal plane of TiO2 film was (101) and any impurity crystal plane didn't appear. All samples had obvious red shifts in the absorbing edge overall and reduced significantly the width of forbidden band, especially, the N doping content with 8.0 at% was surprised to investigate the strongest (101) peak intensity, the sharpest peak type, the best meritocratic orientation, the greatest red shift of the absorption spectrum, the lowest optical band gap value of 3.356 eV, and the highest utilization rate of visible light of the sample. However, the surface morphology of the others films except the N doping content with 8.0 at% is not further improved by co-doping, that is, their surfaces were still rough, had obvious voids and uneven distribution between the grains. Meanwhile, the intensity of the (101) crystalline diffraction peaks of these samples were reduced and the crystalline spacing generally increased after co-doping.

The nanostructured polymer-fullerene thin film is one of the most prominent materials to make the hybrid bulk heterojunction solar cell (BHJ) with high conversion efficiency. Especially when the blend of P3HT and PCBM was used as the donor and acceptor materials. The properties of P3HT and PCBM layer in solar cell has been much studied and considered as high performance systems. One of the important factors for the high performance device is the fabrication  of photo active layer with the appropriate thickness and morphology. In the ideal case, the intermolecular distance between the polymer and fullerene should be approximately 10-20 nm (the exciton diffusion distance) giving an area of extensive contact between the two phases. After the dissociation of carriers, the two polymer phases should create the path way for carriers to reach electrodes. But so far, this ideal configuration has not been published. In this work, we’ve elaborated the P3HT and PCBM photo active layers by spin coating methodon glass substrates covered ITO electrode. The rotational velocity was determined to get the necessary effective thickness of the polymer film. The annealing effect on structure, optical and electrical properties of the polymer thin film with different content of PCBM were also investigated. The experiments show the best device on electrode ITO has I-V characteristic as a photodiode and short circuit current (Isc) aboutmili-Ampere. These results demonstrate convincingly that polymer layers elaborated by spin coating method can result a good performance of the device.
