- Abstract
In this report, the fabrication of a solar cell device with the structures FTO/PPy/PTh/ZnO/Al was performed using wet chemical synthesis methods in open environment. The cost-effective methods like CBD, SILAR, and spin coating have been used for the synthesis. The effect of thickness of PPy active layer on the device performance is investigated. Features such as structural, morphological, and chemical bonding of the layers have been investigated using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and are discussed herein. Effects of PPy thickness on current-voltage characteristics have been studied under dark and illumination at 1 Sun (100 mW/cm, AM 1.5 G) condition to study the solar cell performance.
