Effect of PEDOT:PSS composition on photovoltaic performance of PEDOT:PSS/n-Si hybrid solar cells

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.

Simple Method

In this work, the development of solution-processed bulk heterojunction hybrid solar cells based on CdSe quantum dot (QD) and conjugated polymer poly [2,6-(4,4-bis-(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-cyclopenta [2,1-b;3,4-b] dithiophene)-alt-4,7-(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)], PCPDTBT was performed. The photoactive layer was formed by integrating CdSe QDs onto multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). A simple method of thiol functionalization in the interface CNTs and CdSe QDs has been investigated. Integration of CNTs enhances long-term performance of solar cells devices. Initial PCE values of about 1.9 % under AM1.5G illumination have been achieved for this hybrid CNT-CdSe photovoltaic device. In addition, the long-term stability of the photovoltaic performance of the devices was investigated and found superior to CdSe QD only based devices. About 84 % of the initial PCE remained after storage in a glove box for one year without any further encapsulation. It is concluded that the improvement is mainly due to a strong binding between thiol functionalized CNTs and CdSe QDs, resulting preservation of the nanomorphology of the hybrid film over time.
