Glass/ITO/PbS/P3HT/Al: A Hybrid Film Solar Cell

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new hybrid film solar cell was made with a structure of Glass/ITO/PbS/P3HT/Al. PbS film was prepared by a simple solid-solid reaction and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) film was obtained by a spin coating method. The solar cells are photosensitive in a large spectral range (extending from near infrared to high energy side regions). Without any special treatment, the cell with an area of 0.15 cm2 has shown values of open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 85 mV and fill factor (FF) of 0.33 under an illumination intensity of 100 mW/cm2.
