Intimate Heterojunction Structure between Titania and Polythiocyanogen and Its Photovoltaic Effect

Article Preview

Abstract:

A heterojunction structure between a cubic structured mesoporous titania thin film and polythiocyanogen inside the pores was prepared by electrodeposition technique. UV-Vis absorption and FT-IR spectra show that the electrodeposited material is polythiocyanogen and the SEM images show that polythiocyanogen is infiltrated into the pores of the mesoporous titania film. In addition, this heterojunction structure was fabricated into a photovoltaic cell and the cell performance was tested. The cell showed an overall efficiency of 0.03%.
