- AIR STABLE ORGANIC-INORGANIC NANOPARTICLES HYBRID SOLAR CELLS

摘要

The solar cell comprises a low work function cathode, an active layer of the organic-inorganic nanoparticle composition, a ZnO nanoparticle layer disposed between the cathode and the active layer, and physically contacted ZnO nanoparticles; And a transparent high work function anode which is a double layer electrode. The inclusion of the ZnO nanoparticle layer results in a solar cell showing increased conversion efficiency and reduces the rate of decomposition of the device. Embodiments of the present invention are directed to novel ZnO nanoparticles useful for use as a ZnO nanoparticle layer in a novel solar cell and to a method of making the ZnO nanoparticles.
