ABSTRACTSnS2 has adequate properties for photovoltaic applications in solar cells. For this purpose, we studied the influence of the capping agents pyridine and aniline in the nanoparticles hydrothermal syntheses. These capping agents are suitable for use in hybrid organic- inorganic solar cells. Different ratios of these agents with respect to the metal precursor were tested. Hexagonal and disc-type nanoparticles were obtained. Lower concentrations of capping agent increased the proportion of hexagons, while diminishing their size. The obtained products are adequate in size, dispersion of size, and stabile in suspension in chloroform to use them in hybrid solar cells. Moreover, the use ofpyridine allowed for more stable suspensions, and therefore better results for this application.

Hybrid Solar Cells

In today's era, a lot of interest is gained by solar cell formed by combination of organic and inorganic nano-particle semiconductors mainly because of its major features such as scalable solar power conversion and cost effectiveness, which makes the cell a desirable photovoltaic device. This piece of work is an attempt to make a solar cells by the combination of zinc oxide (ZnO) and graphite. ZnO is a good n-type material for the application in photovoltaic (PV) devices due to its better optical, electrical, structural, and environmentally friendly properties, and on the other hand, graphite, an organic semiconductor, enhances the rate of charge transfer in the device. These materials are so designed to help bring in more understanding in a wider range of the solar spectrum. This work focuses on developing solid-state polymer and hybrid solar cells.

In this study, the synthesis and characterization of ZnS nanoparticles in aqueous solution precipitation using MPA as capping agents were reported. The 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) was used as the capping agent to control the size of the ZnS nanoparticles. We found that the particles size of ZnS using MPA as capping agent was less than 10nm; ranging from 6-8 nm in size and sphere in shape using TEM measurements. Meanwhile, the photoluminescence and optical absorption were collected using Spectrofluorometer. As the results, the emission band for photoluminescence spectra was blue (~ 425 nm) appeared for samples before refluxed. For samples which were refluxed for 7 hours, the photoluminescence consists of a peak at 385 nm.
