摘要: Carbon nanotube-silicon solar cells are a recently investigated photovoltaic architecture with demonstrated high efficiencies. Silicon solar-cell devices fabricated thin film of conductive polymer (polyaniline) have been reported, but these can suffer from poor performance due to the limited lateral current-carrying capacity films. Herein, hybrid polyaniline deposited on silicon and covered by single-walled carbon nanotube characterized. These combine conformal coverage given excellent electrical properties films significantly outperform either their component counterparts. Treatment base nanotubes hydrofluoric acid strong oxidizer (thionyl chloride) leads significant improvement in performance.
