摘要
The nano size zinc oxide (ZnO) was successfully synthesized at low temperature solution method. The structural characterization, size and distribution of synthesized ZnO particles were performed using Xray diffraction (XRD) and neutron scattering technique. The hybrid polymer-metal oxide bulk hetero-junction solar cell has been fabricated by blending of ZnO and regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) through solution process and flow coating on the flexible substrate. The decrease in the photoluminescence (PL) emission intensity more than 79% for ZnO:P3HT composites film indicates high charge generation efficiency. The cell shows the V(OC) and I(SC) of 0.33 V and 6.5 mA/cm(2), respectively. The performance and stability of cell were investigated using UV illumination of white light. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
