Plasma treatment of zinc oxidea??nanoparticles:polyaniline blend as an active layer for the hybrid bulk heterojunction solar cell applications
摘要： In this experimental work, plasma treatment of the active layer in the bulk heterojunction solar cells was studied. The active layers consisting of zinc oxide nanoparticles:polyaniline were spin-coated on indium tin oxide covered glasses then kept in the cold plasma medium for different treatment times. The J-V characteristics were considered under air mass 1.5G standard illumination, and variations of the open-circuit voltages and short circuit currents were studied under different treatment times. The results show that there is an optimum treatment time to improve the properties of the layers. In order to understand the origin of this effect, the Hall coefficient, along with ultraviolet-visible spectra were measured, and for studying the topological impact of plasma on the surface of the layers, atomic force microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were considered. The measurements confirmed the time dependency of the open-circuit voltages and short circuit currents of the cells on the plasma treatment times. Atomic force microscopy of the layers shows the significant topological effects of the plasma treatments on the surface of the active layers for different treatment times.

Light-trapping strategy for PEDOT:PSS/c-Si nanopyramid based hybrid solar cells embedded with metallic nanoparticles
摘要： In this article, we have investigated the combined role of nanopyramid (NP) array and metal nanoparticles (MNPs) in enhancing the light trapping ability and improving the photo-absorption of PEDOT:PSS/c-Si Hybrid Solar Cells (HSCs) using a 3D ?nite-di?erence time-domain (FDTD) method. A parametric optimization of the essential geometrical parameters of NPs and MNP is performed based on short circuit current density (Jsc). The optimization result reveals that maximum Jsc of 35.91 mA/cm2 is achievable with top textured NP (without MNPs) which is 24.38% higher than the planar counterpart. However, the absorption spectrum is broadened with the insertion of Al MNP at rear side of the HSC. This is also accompanied by almost two fold increase in Jsc to 41.71 mA/cm2 which is 44.47% higher the planar HSCs. The photovoltaic parameters such as Jsc, Voc, PCE and Fill Factor (FF) are calculated using the DEVICE software for NP and NP embedded with Al MNPs based c-Si Solar Cells. The physics at the interface of inorganic nanostructure and organic material layer is thoroughly described. In addition to this, we have tried to decode the underlying physics for the enhancement of photon absorption in nanopyramidal structures and MNPs structures through an extensive analysis of the photo- generation rate, electric ?eld intensity, power absorption pro?les, PCE and FF of nanopyramidal, nanopyramidal with MNP and planar HSCs.

Fabrication of an Efficient Planar Organic-Silicon Hybrid Solar Cell with a 150 nm Thick Film of PEDOT: PSS
摘要： Organic–inorganic hybrid solar cells composed of p-type conducting polymer poly (3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene): polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) and n-type silicon (Si) have gained considerable interest in recent years. From this viewpoint, we present an e?cient hybrid solar cell based on PEDOT: PSS and the planar Si substrate (1 0 0) with the simplest and cost-e?ective experimental procedures. We study and optimize the thickness of the PEDOT: PSS ?lm to improve the overall performance of the device. We also study the e?ect of ethylene glycol (EG) by employing a di?erent wt % as a solvent in the PEDOT: PSS to improve the device’s performance. Silver (Ag) was deposited by electron beam evaporation as the front and rear contacts for the solar cell device. The whole fabrication process was completed in less than three hours. A power conversion e?ciency (PCE) of 5.1%, an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 598 mV, and a ?ll factor (FF) of 58% were achieved.

Optical simulation and geometrical optimization of P3HT/GaAs nanowire hybrid solar cells for maximal photocurrent generation via enhanced light absorption
摘要： The implications of using the combination of inorganic and organic materials in the active layer of solar cells have motivated researchers to find a new pathway for flexible, low cost, and highly efficient future generation solar cells. III-V material based nanowires (NWs) with subwavelength scale diameters have shown excellent light harvesting and charge transport properties and can be easily combined with organic polymer materials and thin substrates to design hybrid solar cells (HSCs). To obtain optimum design requirements for GaAs nanowire array (NWA) HSCs, an optical simulation of poly(3-hexylthiophene) P3HT/ GaAs (NWA) hybrid solar cell is investigated using finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method. In comparison to planar substrate, P3HT coated NWA have shown superior optical properties owing to its intrinsic anti-reflection, broad absorption spectra, and efficient excitation of resonance modes. A steady improvement in light absorption of P3HT/GaAs NWA HSCs is observed as the polymer coating thickness increased up to a certain limit and beyond which there is a significant degradation in the exciton generation. The geometrical parameters like diameter (D) of NW and filling ratio or periodicity are also optimized to achieve superior light absorption and maximum short circuit current density (Jsc). Under AM1.5G illumination, maximum photocurrent obtained for optimized structure with conformal coating of P3HT is almost 12% and 15% higher than its fully infiltrated and uncoated counterparts respectively.

Charge Transport between Coaxial Polymer Nanorods and Grafted All-Inorganic Perovskite Nanocrystals for Hybrid Organic Solar Cells with Enhanced Photoconversion Efficiency
摘要： The versatile optoelectronics properties of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have provided a strong surge for their utilization in different classes of solar cells, organic photovoltaic (OPV) systems being no exception. In an unprecedented approach, a hybrid solar cell with CsPbBr1.5I1.5 NCs strategically grafted on poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) nanorods (NRs) is shown to have a photoconversion efficiency (PCE) of 9.72 ± 0.4 %, with only 1.5 wt% NCs. The improvement is twice more than the P3HT:PCBM reference devices (4.09 ± 0.2 %). The choice of NC composition is validated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations which show decent charge carrier mobility in CsPbBr1.5I1.5, besides having better stability than CsPbI3, making CsPbBr1.5I1.5 NCs suitable contender for hybrid device architecture. A trivial blending of the NCs in P3HT:PCBM matrix results in their non-uniform distribution, escalating charge carrier trapping, albeit maintaining a device efficiency of 8.07 ± 0.3 % with 1 wt% NCs. Uniform NC grafting is propitious over inhomogeneous blending since CsPbBr1.5I1.5 NCs not only act as additional light harvesters, but their chemical grafting onto the P3HT NRs improves the charge transport by creating better charge percolation pathways. The higher crystallinity of the P3HT NRs than P3HT also helps in reducing the trap states.

Dual Role of Graphene Quantum Dots in Active Layer of Inverted Bulk Heterojunction Organic Photovoltaic Devices
摘要： Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have shown broad application prospects in the field of photovoltaic devices due to their unique quantum confinement and edge effects. Here, we prepared GQDs by a photon-Fenton reaction as reported in our previous work, which has great advantage in the preparation scale. The photoelectric properties of the inverted hybrid solar cells based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT): (6,6)-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methylester (PCBM):GQDs and P3HT:GQDs with different contents of GQDs as the active layers are demonstrated, as well as their morphology and structure by atomic force microscopy images. Then, the different roles of GQDs played in the ternary (P3HT:PCBM:GQDs) and binary (P3HT:GQDs) hybrid solar cells are studied systematically. The results indicate that the GQDs provide an efficient excition separation interface and charge transport channel for the improvement of hybrid solar cells. The preliminary exploration and elaboration of the role of GQDs in hybrid solar cells will be beneficial to understand the interfacial procedure and improve device performance in the future.

Evaluation of exciton diffusion length in highly oriented fullerene films of fullerene/p-Si(100) hybrid solar cells
摘要： Highly oriented fullerene (C60) films on p-Si (100) substrates were fabricated to evaluate the crystallinity dependent exciton diffusion length of C60 (LC60). The crystal structure of the C60 films was examined using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD). The results of an in-plane rocking scan and a pole figure suggested that a 12-fold-symmetry crystal was grown with the C60(111) surface interfaced to the Si(100) substrate. The photovoltaic characteristics of the oriented C60/p-Si(100) hybrid solar cells were evaluated. A masking effect was clearly evident in the incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) spectra. LC60 was evaluated using both experimental IPCE spectra and that produced by one-dimensional-optical simulation. It was concluded that LC60 for highly oriented C60 was 60 nm, which was longer than that of disordered C60 films.

A Quarterthiophene-Based Dye as an Efficient Interface Modifier for Hybrid Titanium Dioxide/Poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) Solar Cells
摘要： This work focused on studying the in?uence of dyes, including a thiophene derivative dye with a cyanoacrylic acid group ((E)-2-cyano-3-(3,3,5,5-trihexyl-[2,2:5,2:5,2-quaterthiophene]-5-yl) acrylicacid)(4T), on the photovoltaic performance of titanium dioxide (TiO2)/poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) solar cells. The insertion of dye at the interface improved the e?ciency regardless of the dye used. However, 4T dye signi?cantly improved the e?ciency by a factor of three when compared to the corresponding control. This improvement is mainly due to an increase in short circuit current density (JSC), which is consistent with higher hole-mobility reported in TiO2/P3HT nanocomposite with 4T dye. Optical absorption data further revealed that 4T extended the spectral response of the TiO2/P3HT nanocomposite, which could also enhance the JSC. The reduced dark current upon dye insertion ensured the carrier recombination was controlled at the interface. This, in turn, increased the open circuit voltage. An optimized hybrid TiO2/P3HT device with 4T dye as an interface modi?er showed an average e?ciency of over 2% under-simulated irradiation of 100 mWcm?2 (1 sun) with an Air Mass 1.5 ?lter.
