Title: | Water based preparation method for 'green' solid-state polythiophene solar cells | Authors: | HAELDERMANS, Ilse TRUYEN, Ine VANDEWAL, Koen MOONS, Wouter VAN BAEL, Marlies D'HAEN, Jan MANCA, Jean MULLENS, Jules |
Issue Date: | 2008 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA | Source: | THIN SOLID FILMS, 516(20). p. 7245-7250 | Abstract: | In this work a water soluble derivative of polythiophene, namely (poly[3-(sodium-6 hexanoate)thiophene-2,5-diyl]) is used as photosensitizer and hole conductor instead of the liquid electrolyte, resulting in a solid state polythiophene-sensitized solar cell. The dense titania hole-blocking layer and the nanoporous TiO2 network are also prepared using a new water based method. The presented aqueous synthesis procedure for the photosensitizer, electron and hole conductor demonstrates the possibility to develop fully 'green' solid-state solar cells. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
