Popis: | Well-aligned zinc oxide nanorods (WA-ZnO Nrods) with different lengths were synthesized and the effects of the growth times on the optical, morphological, and electrical properties of the WA-ZnO Nrods were examined. We also investigated the application of WA-ZnO Nrods as an electron transport layer (ETL) and tungsten trioxide (WO3) as a hole transport layer (HTL) to vacuum free hybrid photovoltaic (HPV) performance. The eutectic gallium&ndash indium (EGaIn) alloy was used as a top electrode coated using a brush-painting method. A device with the structure of indium tin oxide (ITO)/WA-ZnO Nrods/(P3HT:PCBM)/WO3/EGaIn was optimized and fabricated. The maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) was ~4.5%. Improvement of the device performance indicates that the well-aligned ZnO Nrods and WO3 can effectively be applied as charge carrier transport layer for vacuum free hybrid (HPV). |
