Organic/inorganic heterojunction solar cells have been fabricated based on CdSe/PVA nanocomposite as an acceptor and PANI-DBSA/PS nanofibers as a donor material. CdSe/PVA nanocomposite PANI-DBSA/PS nanofiber materials have been prepared by chemical and electrospinning methods, respectively. X-ray diffraction, Atomic Force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy measurements technique reveals that the two nanomaterials have deferent morphology with the crystalline cubic structure of CdSe/PVA nanocomposite and amorphous phase of PANI-DBSA/PS nanofibers. The absorption spectra of PANI-DBSA/PS and CdSe/PVA nanocomposite thin films were analyzed in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 800 nm. the current-voltage density measurements of the solar cell which were performed in the dark and under illumination are reveal that the ideality factor of all the devices is more than one and the maximum power conversion efficiency is 0.3%. The effects of temperature on the photovoltaic properties of solar cells have been investigated. The power conversion efficiency values increased with increasing temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
