Fig. 4. Typical architecture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> photovoltaic device<br />

electrons) while ITO is applied as <strong>the</strong> anode for <strong>the</strong> purposes<br />

<strong>of</strong> collecting holes. Active layer thickness is about 150 nm. The<br />

overall architecture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> device is presented in Fig. 4.<br />

Results<br />

Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> device were measured<br />

using <strong>the</strong> Keithley 2400 source-meter. Device was illuminated<br />

with maximum intensity <strong>of</strong> 1.3 mW/cm 2 . I-V characteristics after<br />

illumination are given in <strong>the</strong> Fig. 5, 6, 7 and 8.<br />

Summary<br />

Conjugated PEDOT:PSS polymers have much lower mobility<br />

than inorganic semiconductors and are traditionally better for<br />

conducting holes than electrons. Typical hole mobilities range<br />

are about 0.001 cm 2 V -1 s -1 [1]. Additional layer <strong>of</strong> PEDOT:PSS<br />

facilitates transport <strong>of</strong> charge carriers to electrode. As one can<br />

see in cells with PEDOT:PSS layer energy conversion efficiency<br />

increased in comparison to <strong>the</strong> cell with <strong>the</strong> same active layer.<br />

We obtained <strong>the</strong> best energy conversion efficiency for <strong>the</strong> architecture<br />

ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PAQX1+P3OT/Al. Results <strong>of</strong> this work<br />

proved that photovoltaic cells need fur<strong>the</strong>r modification in order<br />

to increase energy conversion efficiency.<br />
