Hybrid solar cells based on blends of a conjugated polymer, poly-3(hexylthiophene) (P3HT), and silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) have been developed and characterized. The properties of composite Si NCs/P3HT films which were spun from 1, 2-dichlorobenzene were studied. Under A.M. 1.5 direct illumination conditions (100mW/cm2), devices made with 50wt% 3–5nm Si NCs showed 1.33% power conversion efficiency (PCE) and had a 30% incident-photon-to-current conversion efficiency at 470 nm.

This work aims to enhance the power conversion efficiency of PEDOT:PSS/Si hybrid solar cells by reducing the resistance of PEDOT:PSS of hybrid solar cells using simple solvent treatment. A noticeable decrease in resistance of PEDOT:PSS layer was found after treating with DMSO and methanol using the dipping method or the mixing method. The combinations of these two methods allow us to greatly enhance the fill factor and power conversion efficiency of hybrid solar cells due to the significant reduction in Rs.

Solar energy is one in all few sources to renewable power and it is considerably critical in our each day lifestyles usage thus resulted to ensure the practicality and usefulness of the devices which regularly used to capture and manipulate solar energy. In this work, studies the effect of conjugated chlorophyll (iCHLO) on power conversion efficiency with relation of iCHLO where optical and electrical properties were investigated. These hybrid solar cells consist of combination of organic (Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonate) and iCHLO) and inorganic (Titanium Dioxide, TiO2) materials. These hybrid solar cells were fabricated bilayer of ITO/TiO2/PEDOT: PSS/iCHLO/Al. Chlorophyll compound (CHLO) was extracted from the Pandanus amaryllifolius leaves. CHLO undergoes conjugate process by oxidation polymerization using Ferric Chloride (FeCl3) as catalyst. Different percentage of FeCl3 was varied by 5%, 10% and 15% of CHLO molecular weight. Result shows that UV-Vis absorption spectra of CHLO was absorbed in the range of 400 nm – 600 nm (CHLO-PA) and 240 nm - 360 nm (iCHLO-PA). The highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) was obtained at 1.33% and electrical conductivity is 0.135 Scm1 for ITO/TiO2/PEDOT: PSS/iCHLO-PA 10% hybrid solar cell.
