Research Abstract |
We have explored the possibility of the new p-n vertical junction type organic thin-film solar cells. The new vertical p-n junction structure was constructed using polymer nanowires, and at the beginning, we have explored the possibility of controlling morphology of polymer chains in the polymer nanowires. Electrical measurements on the individual nanowires revealed that the template size will affect the resistivity of resulting nanowires. We will apply the templated synthesis of nanowires to other polymeric materials such as P3HT and ladder type conjugated polymers, and try to construct organic thin-film solar cells using the developed synthesis methodology.
