Abstract

This paper aims to propose a 3D nanostructured organic-inorganic hybrid photovoltaic device based on the ZnO nanostructures/poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) :TiO₂ nanorods hybrids by solution processes at low temperature. An array of ZnO nanorods with a larger size of ∼50 nm in diameter and ∼180 nm in length are grown to provide direct pathways for efficient charge collection. TiO₂ nanorods with a size of ∼5 nm in diameter and ∼20-30 nm in length are incorporated into polymer to facilitate charge separation and transport by providing increased interfacial area and more effective transport pathway. The device performance with the inclusion of TiO₂ nanorods exhibits a seven times increase in the short circuit current with respect to that without TiO₂ nanorods.
