Organic and Hybrid Organic Solid-State Photovoltaic Materials and Devices
Abstract
The interface between surface-modified semiconducting nanoparticles and polymers often contributes to the limited efficiency of hybrid photovoltaic cells and luminescent devices. We prepared, characterized and investigated (1) the nanocomposite formed between quantum dot (3 nm) cadmium sulfide capped with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) and a copolymer of poly(phenylene ethynylene); (2) nanocomposites of silver nanowires with fluorescent poly(phenyleneethynylene); and (3) fulleropyrrolidine derivatives substituted with oligophenyleneethynylene-ferrocene conjugates. Publication of the results for (1) and (3) are under construction; those for (2) may be found in Nanocomposites of Silver Nanowires with a Fluorescent Poly (phenyleneethynylene): Morphological Implications for Photovoltaic Devices.
