Abstract

The paper demonstrates the influence of crystal phase for CuInS₂ on device performance of MEH-PPV-CuInS₂/oxide nanoarrays hybrid polymer-based solar cells. CuInS₂ quantum dots with wurtzite and chalcopyrite crystallographic phases are incorporated into pristine polymer layer as light-harvesting hybrids, while ZnO nanoarrays (ZnO-NA) and TiO ₂ nanoarrays (TiO₂-NA) are used as electron acceptor. Results show that devices with wurtzite CuInS₂ quantum dots (WCIS-QDs) exhibited higher photovoltaic performance in MEH-PPV-CuInS ₂/ZnO-NA solar cells, while devices with chalcopyrite CuInS ₂ quantum dots (CCIS-QDs) exhibited higher performance in MEH-PPV-CuInS₂/TiO₂-NA solar cells. It is concluded that the devices based on metal oxide and CuInS₂ that belong to the same crystal system contribute to the increased device performance, which possibly results from the more effective energy transfer and transport between metal oxide and CuInS₂ with the same crystal system.
