Photovoltaic effect
▶ Resistivity reduced according to the
Intensity of light
▶ Shorter distance between electrodes and
wider sensor width for better sensitivity
▶ Serpentine structure
√ Characteristics of IR radiation
▶ Invisible to human eyes
▶ Small energy
▶ Long wavelength
▶ Emitted from all kinds of objects
√ A wide variety of application
Organic solar cell
a photovoltaic cell that uses organic electronics like conductive organic polymers or small organic molecules for light absorption and charge transport
Basic principle of solar cell
When light is illuminated at cell, the photons are absorbed in the organic layers.
The excitons diffuse to interface between donor and acceptor.
The excitons are separated by electron
The GZO, MZO thin films were prepared on ZnO pre-sputtered glass substrate using RF Sputtering Technique. Morphological, Structural and Electrical properties of deposited films were investigated in comparison with pure ZnO Thin film by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), PL spectra and other electrical analytic method. SEM images showed al
The most common form of solar cells are based on the photovoltaic (PV) effect
