Opis

A combination of bulk heterojunction of P3HT: PCBM with ZnO nanorod arrays was also studied for solar cell applications. In the P3HT: PCBM devices, electron donors such as poly (3-hexythiophene) (P3HT) and acceptors as (6, 6)-phenyl C61butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) are blended to form one mixed layer (a bulk heterojunction). The charge separation of photo-induced excitons is greatly enhanced by ultra-fast electron transfer and large interface between the two components. However, the charge collection is one of the main limitations for improving cell efficiency. In this study, ZnO nanowire arrys have been used to facilitate efficient charge collection electrodes for improving the energy conversion efficiency.
