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.
Noble metals gold NPs are produced by pulsed (“Q-switched, 1064 nm Nd: YAG”) ablation of gold foil dipped in doubles distilled water DDW by laser. (PLAL) the process was performed with laser energy in range (400–700) mJ at (90 pulses, wavelength 1064 and room temperature and liquid depth 9 mm. The influence of laser energies have been tested structurally, optically and morphologically and examined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), UV-visible spectroscopy and atomic force microscope (AFM). The absorption spectra of AuNPs are prepared in water piercing and solitary peaks nearby 518 and 524 nm, demonstrating the assembly of clean and sphericals in shape AuNPs with the middling size in the range of (20–50) nm. SEM and AFM have established all the measurements of size.
In this study, we report on a successful preparation nanocomposites poly (o-toluidine) (POT) doping with dodecylbenzene sulfonate acid (DBSA)/ ZnO by in-situ polymerization of (o-toluidine) monomer using ZnO nanoparticles (the weight ratios OT/ZnO: 1/5%, 1/10%, 1/15%). The composite films have been prepared by using the casting method on different substrate depending on the type of measurement. The surface morphology properties of the prepared samples were studied by the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The results of FESEM indicate that ZnO nanoparticles were successfully embedded in the POT via chemical interactions between ZnO and (O-toluidine) monomer and the EDX spectrum showed the presence of element Zn in POT-DBSA/ZnO composites. The crystal structure was measured by x-ray directional and its pattern revealed the presence of ZnO in dopant polymer, in the diffraction patterns of POT-DBSA. The intensity of the peaks was increased as the amount of ZnO nanoparticles increased in POT-DBSA. The typical rectifying behaviour indicated that the formation of a diode observes by the I–V characterization of POT-DBSA/ZnO composites at thin film layer with top Al thin layer contact.
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.
