dc.description.abstractThe effects of surface modification of CdS through organic Eosin-Y, indoline D205, and Ru-based complex N719 and N3 dyes on CdS-based hybrid solar cells were studied. Chemical bath deposition (CBD) and doctor blade methods were in turn employed to fabricate the CdS specimens on Indium-Tin Oxide (ITO) covered glass substrates. P3HT material with and without dye coatings was covered through a spin-coater on the surface of CdS specimens. Ag paste was then deposited on the surface of P3HT to obtain hybrid solar cells. Structural analysis indicated that CdS powders showed a cubic growth with the preferred orientation of (111). Morphological analysis demonstrated that CdS powders exhibited hierarchical morphology and the morphology turned to granular structure with some porosity upon deposition of both N3 dye and P3HT layers. Absorption plots indicated that Eosin-Y dye loading led to a rise in the absorbance values of CdS specimens. After dye loading, photoluminescence data of CdS-based heterostructure illustrated a decrement in the luminescence intensity, implying that effective exciton dissociation was obtained. Current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics of the hybrid solar cells depicted that the best overall efficiency was observed for Eosin-Y-modified cell as 0.135%. This proved that surface modification by Eosin-Y dye led to a better interfacial contact between CdS and P3HT bilayer due to the enhancement in the charge separation.
