    Author: Chen JY, Con C, Yu MH, Cui B, Sun KW.
    Journal: ACS Appl Mater Interfaces; 2013 Aug 14; 5(15):7552-8. PubMed ID: 23845069.
    Abstract:
    We demonstrate the implementation of a hybrid solar cell that comprises a surface nanostructured n-type Si and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate). The Si surface before deposition of the organic layer was nanostructured by using CsCl self-assembled nanoparticles as a hard mask and dry etching to form radial junction architectures and enhance light diffusion and absorption. Apart from the textured Si surface, processing parameters such as from metal-electrode shadow ratio, spin-coating rate, and surfactant addition were properly adjusted to improve overall cell performance. Our hybrid solar cells achieve the best performance under optimized cell parameters with a power conversion efficiency of 8.84% and short-circuit current density of 30.5 mA/cm(2). This combined technique provides a simple, scalable, and cost-effective process for fabricating hybrid solar cells.
