Title: Toward interaction of sensitizer and functional moieties in hole-transporting materials for efficient semiconductor-sensitized solar cells. Author: Im SH, Lim CS, Chang JA, Lee YH, Maiti N, Kim HJ, Nazeeruddin MK, Grätzel M, Seok SI. Journal: Nano Lett; 2011 Nov 09; 11(11):4789-93. PubMed ID: 21961842. Abstract: Sb(2)S(3)-sensitized mesoporous-TiO(2) solar cells using several conjugated polymers as hole-transporting materials (HTMs) are fabricated. We found that the cell performance was strongly correlated with the chemical interaction at the interface of Sb(2)S(3) as sensitizer and the HTMs through the thiophene moieties, which led to a higher fill factor (FF), open-circuit voltage (V(oc)), and short-circuit current density (J(sc)). With the application of PCPDTBT (poly(2,6-(4,4-bis-(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b;3,4-b']dithiophene)-alt-4,7(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)) as a HTM in a Sb(2)S(3)-sensitized solar cell, overall power conversion efficiencies of 6.18, 6.57, and 6.53% at 100, 50, and 10% solar irradiation, respectively, were achieved with a metal mask.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
