Synthesis and application of solar cells of poly (3-decylthiophene)/N/titanium dioxide hybrid

Abstract

An organic-inorganic nanocomposite material of poly (3-decylthiophene) and titanium dioxide doped with N (P3DT/N/TiO2) were synthesized. Structures were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Optical and electrochemical properties were determined using UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. These tests indicated that P3DT/N/TiO2 was a new p-n semiconductor photoelectric material, and the solar cell prepared with P3DT/N/TiO2 performed well.
