In this paper, we study on the effects of ZnO nanorods /seed ZnO on properties of hybrid solar cells. ZnO nanorods fabricated by electrochemical method of two-step stable flow of liquid Zn(NO3)2. 6H2O (0.005 M) and C6H12N4 (0.005 M). Morphology and optoelectronic properties of ZnO nanorods were studied by SEM images, UV-VIS transmission spectra, X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence spectrum. Elaboration of hybrid solar cells by inserting ZnO nanorods on organic photoactive layer of P3HT:PCBM and ITO, as result the solar cell conductivity performance is significantly improved. Experimental results show that ~ 1,392 mA/cm2 Jsc, Voc ~ 0.49 V, FF = 0.32, and PCE = 0.23%.
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.
