Abstract

Abstract : Sb2 S3 -based hybrid solar cells with electron transporting layer of TiO2 or ZnO nanoparticles in addition to poly(3-hexylthiophene)-2, 5-diyl / (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrene sulfonate), zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc), or MoO3 for hole transporting layer were prepared and compared their photovoltaic properties with or without encapsulation by using glass and UV cut-off film. Among these hybrid solar cells, it was found that a combination of glass-ITO/TiO2 /Sb2 S3 /ZnPC/Au encapsulated with glass and UV cut filter has the highest durability with keeping the relative power conversion efficiency of 90% through the stability test under 1 sun at 63 °C at a relative humidity of 50% for 1, 500 h.
