Improvement of light harvesting by inserting an optical spacer (ZnO) in polymer bulk heterojunction solar cells: A theoretical and experimental study
By introducing a thin ZnO layer as an optical spacer, we have demonstrated that inserting this layer between an active layer and a reflective electrode results in a re-distribution of the optical electric field inside bulk heterojunction solar cells. A theoretical analysis by optical modeling showed that the thin ZnO layer could shift the position of the maximum of the electric field into the a...
متن کاملInvestigations on structural and electrical properties of Cadmium Zinc Sulfide thin films
Nowadays, II – IV group semiconductor thin films have attracted considerable attention from the research community because of their wide range of application in the fabrication of solar cells and other opto-electronic devices. Cadmium zinc sulfide (Zn-CdS) thin films were grown by chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to analyze the structure and crystallite ...

متن کاملMultiparameter investigation of bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaics
A key parameter to improve the performance of organic solar cells is the optimization of electronic phenomena at donor–acceptor interfaces through the optimization of the morphology of the bulk heterojunction. The correlative mapping of morphological, electrical and mechanical properties at the nanoscale by advanced scanning probe microscopy techniques allows for a detailed characterization of ...
