Effect of the additional electron acceptor in hybrid ZnO: P3HT:PCBM spin-coated films for photovoltaic application
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
In a quest for low operational and maintenance cost solar cell devices, organic photovoltaics remain a potential source of energy worthy to be explored. In order to generate cost- effective electricity from solar energy, ...
Charge transfer efficiency and optical properties of P3HT/PCBM spin coated thin films
(UWC, 2009)
The efficiency of organic photovoltaics is influenced by the structure of the polymer, the morphology of the film, the interfaces between the layers, the choice of electron acceptor material and the ratio between the ...
Metal oxide nanocrystalline thin films as buffer layers in organic/ hybrid solar cells
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
Without reverting to encapsulation, organic bulk - heterojunction solar cells
can be protected from the oxidation of the highly reactive low work function
cathode metal electrode, by the deposition of metal oxide buffer ...
Effect of zinc oxide nanoridge height on solar cell performance
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Environmentally friendly photovoltaic devices make use of solar radiation as the energy source to generate electricity. Organic solar cells (OSCs) have been making headway in the last decade due to their cost-effectiveness ...
Metal assisted chemically etched silicon nanowires for application in a hybrid solar cell
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Photovoltaic (PV) devices based on inorganic-organic hybrid active layers have been
extensively studied for over a decade now. However, photoactive hybrid layers of
material combinations such as rr-P3HT and SiNWs still ...
