Abstract

ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to present the influences of material composition and production conditions of the photovoltaic cells on its parameters as well as the active layer properties. The layers were made of organic compounds: metal phthalocyanine/perylene derivatives. In addition, the effects of TiO2 and SiO2 nanoadditives were investigated. The materials used are selected so as to allow P–N junction creation. Deposition technique allows at simultaneous applying the materials leads to obtaining homogeneous dispersion of one material in the other, which determines the formation of bulk P–N junctions. Research includes the estimate of share of individual components in the active layer, then determination of the morphology of surface and optical properties of the same layer and its implementation in photovoltaic structures. The structural researches and morphology of surface investigation were made using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optical properties were researched with the use of UV–Visible spectroscope. The parameters of cells have been determined on the basis of current–voltage characteristics. The work undertaken within the framework of article allowed to linking properties of active layers with the parameters of the same cells.
