Characteristics of Molybdenum Disulfide Nanoparticles for Heterojunction Polymer Solar Cells.

We have used different molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticle concentrations (0~10 wt%) for doping the hybrid active P3HT:PCBM layer. The root mean square (rms) roughness of the layer increased as the MoS2 nanoparticle concentration increased. The hybrid film with MoS2 has higher absorption intensity than the pristine film. The maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) was 2.73% with 5 wt% MoS2 concentration, higher than that (2.08%) obtained without MoS2.
