چکیده
In this study, an oriented, strong and transparent multiwall carbon nanotube sheet is used as the hole collecting electrode in polymer solar cells with RR-P3HT as the donor material and PCBM as the acceptor material. An open circuit voltage of 0.49 V, a short circuit current of 5.47 mA/cm 2 , a fill factor of 0.49, and an efficiency of 1.32% have been obtained. Performance dependence on incident light intensity along with other various investigations are presented.

High Efficient Transparent TiO2 Nanotube Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: Adhesion of TiO2 Nanotube Membrane to FTO by Two Different Methods
In order to fabricate transparent TiO2 nanotube dye-sensitized solar cells, anodically growth nanotube membranes are detached from Ti substrate by a re-anodization method. The membranes are transferred on FTO glass by two different methods. At the first one, 100mM Ti-isopropoxide is used to make TiO2 nanoparticles for adhering TiO2 nanotube membranes to FTO and ...

متن کاملWire-supported CdSe nanowire array photoelectrochemical solar cells.
Previous fiber-shaped solar cells are based on polymeric materials or dye-sensitized wide band-gap oxides. Here, we show that efficient fiber solar cells can be made from semiconducting nanostructures (e.g. CdSe) with smaller band-gap as the light absorption material. We directly grow a vertical array of CdSe nanowires uniformly around a core metal wire and make the device by covering the top o...
متن کاملHybrid carbon nanotube networks as efficient hole extraction layers for organic photovoltaics.
Transparent, highly percolated networks of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (rr-P3HT)-wrapped semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) are deposited, and the charge transfer processes of these nanohybrids are studied using spectroscopic and electrical measurements. The data disclose hole doping of s-SWNTs by the polymer, challenging the prevalent electron-doping hypothesis. Th...
