Abstract
- The effects of MoO3 molecular doping in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(stylenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) on the chemical structure and, in turn, on the carrier collection efficiency of c-Si/PEDOT:PSS heterojunction solar cells are demonstrated. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the hydrophilic PSS polymer chain was intercalated into the interlayer van der Waals gap of MoO3 flake sheets, which modified the chemical structure of PEDOT:PSS. MoO3 exhibited intense photoluminescence in the 350-550 nm region, which enhanced the carrier collection efficiency of c-Si/PEDOT:PSS heterojunction solar cells with no significant changes. These findings suggest that the intense photoluminescence of MoO3 and its light wavelength conversion contribute to the increased carrier collection efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
