We report the hybrid p-n junction based on GaN quantum dots (QDs) as an electron transport layer and poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) as a hole transport layer, which has not been tried for the solar cell until now. The growth of GaN QDs was achieved by the hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) technique and P3HT film sequentially was coated on the top of QDs. The overall performance of P3HT/GaN QDs hybrid heterojunction was analyzed by current density-voltage (J-V ) characteristics and finally exhibited an open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, and fill factor of 160 mV, 3.6 mA/cm 2 , and 0.25, respectively. Also, its efficiency was shown up to 0.14% in an active area of 0.04 cm 2 under AM1.5G illumination with an intensity of 100 mW cm À2 . In this paper, we discuss the factors which affect the power conversion efficiency for future works. #
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.
