Multispectral Visible/Infrared Sensors Based on Polymer-Metal Nanocomposites

Abstract

P3HT:PCBM based reference and active device structures, as well as Graetzel-cell type based reference and active structures were fabricated and their optical and electrical properties measured. The reference structures for both types showed the expected optical absorption in the visible wavelength range and the electrical performance was similar to results reported in the scientific literature. All of the active devices showed increased optical absorption in the near-infrared. The active device structures based on P3HT:PCBM showed an electrical short and no I-V
