Improved photovoltaic response by incorporating green tea modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes in organic-inorganic hybrid solar cell

Description

In this work, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are separated and cut into short pipes using a green tea solution and embedded at interface of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(stylenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/n-Si hybrid solar cells. Devices fabricated with embedding green tea modified MWCNTs show much better performance (10.02%) than that of a device without MWCNTs (9.2%) due to better hole transportation, easy exciton splitting, and suppression of charge recombination.
