Fabrication of thin flm silicon / PEDOT : PSS hybrid devices

There has been much interest and demand in the area of renewable energy sources as of late, and solar photovoltaics is a highly viable option given that the sun’s energy incident on the surface of the earth is able to provide 10 000 times that of our global energy annual consumption. One major ob...

description There has been much interest and demand in the area of renewable energy sources as of late, and solar photovoltaics is a highly viable option given that the sun’s energy incident on the surface of the earth is able to provide 10 000 times that of our global energy annual consumption.

Therefore in this project the objective is to combine the low cost fabrication process of an organic device using PEDOT: PSS with that of a high efficiency inorganic device using silicon material.
