Abstract:
By employing graphene quantum dots (GQDs) in
Pedot:
PSS, we have achieved an efficiency of 13.22% in Si/
Pedot:
PSS hybrid solar cells. The efficiency enhancement is based on concurrent improvement in optical and electrical properties by the photon downconversion process and the improved conductivity of
Pedot:
PSS via appropriate incorporation of GQDs. After introducing GQDs into
Pedot:
PSS, the short circuit current and the fill factor of rear-contact optimized hybrid cells are increased from 32.11 to 36.26 mA/cm(2) and 62.85% to 63.87%, respectively. The organic-inorganic hybrid solar cell obtained herein holds the promise for developing photon-managing, low-cost, and highly efficient photovoltaic devices.
