Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Solar Cells
Hybrid solar cells (HSCs) based on inorganic NCs and conjugated polymers have the advantages of being morphologically more stable and being able to utilize the high electron mobility of the inorganic phase to overcome charge-transport limitations associated with the organic materials. However, there is still no report of a higher performance observed in HSCs other than organic solar cells because of the complicated surface/interface of NCs. We exploit new strategies for improving the compatibility between NCs and conjugated polymers such as altering NCs’ size and shape, thermal annealing, solvent-vapor annealing, and functionalizing the study polymers.(陳協志老師提供)
