Tóm tắt

ZnO nanoparticles dispersed in a semiconducting polymer form the active layer of a solar cell (see Figure) that is able to convert up to 40 % of the incident photons at 500 nm into electrical current and has a power conversion efficiency of about 1.5 % in sunlight. Manufactured at low temperature using environmentally friendly materials, it represents a new step to ‘green electricity'.

The intensity was determined by comparing the measuredJSCwith theJSCat 1 sun intensity which was obtained from the convolution of the spectral response with the solar AM1.5 spectrum and correcting for the small nonlinearity of the light intensity dependence usingI = I(1 sun) × [JSC/JSC(1 sun)]1/n) withn = 0.93.
