Organic Photovoltaic Cells Prepared with Toluene Sulfonic Acid Doped Polypyrrole

Article Preview

Abstract:

Organic photovoltaic cells were fabricated by sandwiching p-toluene sulfonic acid doped conducting polymer polypyrrole between indium-tin-oxide cathodes and aluminum anodes. The active polymeric layers could effectively absorb incident photons more than 75 % in the entire spectral region of 250~1100 nm. Upon light exposure, the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage were recorded up to 0.6 μA/cm2 and 60 mV, respectively, for the organic photovoltaic cells. The dynamics of the generation and decay of the photocurrent and photovoltage in our organic photovoltaic cells were investigated.
