Enhancement of the efficiency of polymer solar cells by blending Nb/ZnO nanoparticles into poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester

Enhancement of the efficiency of polymer solar cells by blending Nb/ZnO nanoparticles into poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester

Bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells utilizing P3HT:PCBM composite loaded with niobium-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Nb/ZnO NPs) produced by flame spray pyrolysis were fabricated. The devices loaded with and without Nb/ZnO NPs were compared. It was found that niobium doping led to a slight increa...

The device efficiency was improved due to a good quality of the thin film nanostructure and annealing time.
