Preparation of Hybrid Molybdenum Disulfide/Single Wall Carbon Nanotube–n-Type Silicon Solar Cells

摘要： Carbon nanotube/silicon (CNT/Si) heterojunction solar cells represent one new architecture for photovoltaic devices. The addition of MoS2 to the devices is shown to increase the e?ciency of the devices. Two structures are explored. In one case, the single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and MoS2 ?akes are mixed to make a hybrid, which is then used to make a ?lm, while in the other case, a two layer system is used with the MoS2 deposited ?rst followed by the SWCNTs. In all cases, the solar cell e?ciency is improved largely due to signi?cant increases in the ?ll factor. The rise in ?ll factor is due to the semiconducting nature of the MoS2, which helps with the separation of charge carriers.
