Hybrid Structure of Organic-Inorganic Photovoltaic Fast Carrier Transport

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hybrid organic Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) –inorganic Cadmium Sulfide (CdS), double layered structures were deposited on glass substrate at different thickness using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) with Q-Switching Nd: YAG laser with energy (240,500 mJ) at (25 Celsius) and within vacuum conditions of (10-3 torr). The photoluminescence (PL) is showing that the CdS quenches emissions from CuPc indicating the carrier transfer to the CdS. Also, the CuPc/CdS hybrid structures have the capability for various absorptions as can be seen in the ultraviolet-visible absorption researches and the charge carrier extractions from PL analysis have been adequate for the solar cell applications. FT-IR spectra have been specified for CdS and CuPc.
