Novel Flexible Plastic-Based Solar Cells
Abstract
During the three years of this program substantial progress was made with regard to charge extraction and transport in hybrid nanoparticle:polymer photovoltaic devices. In particular, we demonstrated (1) enhancement of charge transport and extraction in nanoparticle:polymer devices by modification of the conductive elements and by modification of nanocrystal ligands; (2) multiexciton generation and extraction from a photoconductor of PbSe nanoparticles, (3) hybrid photovoltaic devices consisting of a photoconductor and an organic solar cell, (4) a photo-patternable nanoparticle system that can be used to fabricate heterojunctions of nanocrystal based devices from solution, (5) several types of low bandgap polymers for IR sensitization and (6) quantum dot sensitized solar cell and hybrid thin film solar cell using in-situ growth method on porous Ti02 platform.
