Abstract :
In this study, work is presented towards Sili-con/Polyaniline (PAni) hybrid solar cell development. An external quantum efficiency (EQE) integrated short-circuit current density (Jsc) of up to 22.96 mA/cm2 was measured, while AM1.5G IV measured Jsc peaked at 6.31 mA/cm2, an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 469.4 mV was measured, and an overall AM1.5G device efficiency of 0.725% despite high grid shadowing of > 50% and highly resistive contacts. Rectifying behavior was also seen in Silicon/Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiopene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) devices, achieving VOC values of up to 411 mV.
