Hybrid Photovolvoltaic Devices Based on Nanocrystals and Conducting Metallopolymers Using the Seeded Growth Method
Abstract
Described herein are two projects focusing on developing and investigating two types of nanoparticles (NPs) grown by the seeded growth method from a conducting metallopolymer for photovoltaic (PV) applications. Core/shell CdS/ZnS NPs are proven to resist the photo-oxidation of PV devices, while CuInxGa(1-x)Se2 (CIGS) NPs are expected to optimize the efficiency of PV devices.
