Abstract

TiO2 nanotube arrays had been selected as electron transport material incorporate with P3HT:PCBM blended polymer to fabricate the hybrid organic-inorganic solar cells. Well aligned TiO2 nanotube arrays has been synthesized though the liquid phase deposition by using ZnO nanorod arrays as templates. Three types of dyes (viz. NKX-2677, D149, N719) were adsorbed onto the surface of TiO2 nanotube arrays to increase the interfacial contacts between the organic polymer and inorganic metal oxide. Surface modification with NKX-2677 exhibited remarkable improvement of the cell efficiencies in terms of current density, open circuit voltage, and fill factor as compared with those of other dyes.
