Abstract :
Polymer-based solar cells offer many advantages for cell fabrication such as low-cost roll-to-roll production, large area and flexibility. In this study, efficiencies of polymer-based solar cells were improved by inserting an n-type semiconductor TiO2 layer between polymer layer and transparent conducting oxide (TCO) electrode. A further improved efficiency was obtained when bulk heterojunction CdS and MEH-PPV layer was used as an active layer.
