Abstract:
Cr-TiO
2 films with porous nanostructure were fabricated by simple sol-gel method using a prepared Cr-TiO
2 with the addition of polyethylene glycol 2 000(PEG 2 000) and were used to assemble Cr-TiO
2/P3HT heterojunction photovoltaic devices.The photovoltaic properties of Cr-TiO
2/P3HT heterojunctions and the correlations between the photovoltaic properties of Cr-TiO
2/P3HT and the structure parameters of porous Cr-TiO
2 were studied in details.The results show that not only the porous structure and the spectral transmittance of the Cr-TiO
2 films can be controlled by the amount of PEG 2 000,but also the power conversion efficiency of the Cr-TiO
2/P3HT heterojunction can be well improved by increasing the amount of PEG 2 000 in Cr-TiO
2 sol.The control mechanism of PEG 2 000 on the properties of porous Cr-TiO
2 film and the Cr-TiO
2/P3HT heterojunctions were analyzed.
