“…Benchaabane (2016) prepared hybrid films based on poly(3-octylthiophene) (P3OT) and oleic acid-capped CdSe nanoparticles (8 nm in size), investigating the influence of the CdSe nanoparticles amount on the PV cell performance [ 205 ]. Thus, the cell efficiency was improved from 0.025% for the cell with pure P3OT to 0.51% for the cell containing 80% CdSe nanoparticles.…”

Continuing growth in global energy consumption and the growing concerns regarding climate change and environmental pollution are the strongest drivers of renewable energy deployment. Solar energy is the most abundant and cleanest renewable energy source available. Nowadays, photovoltaic technologies can be regarded as viable pathways to provide sustainable energy generation, the achievement attained in designing nanomaterials with tunable properties and the progress made in the production processes having a major impact in their development. Solar cells involving hybrid nanocomposite layers have, lately, received extensive research attention due to the possibility to combine the advantages derived from the properties of both components: flexibility and processability from the organic part and stability and optoelectronics features from the inorganic part. Thus, this review provides a synopsis on hybrid solar cells developed in the last decade which involve composite layers deposited by spin-coating, the most used deposition method, and matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation, a relatively new deposition technique. The overview is focused on the hybrid nanocomposite films that can use conducting polymers and metal phthalocyanines as p-type materials, fullerene derivatives and non-fullerene compounds as n-type materials, and semiconductor nanostructures based on metal oxide, chalcogenides, and silicon. A survey regarding the influence of various factors on the hybrid solar cell efficiency is given in order to identify new strategies for enhancing the device performance in the upcoming years.

“…Bulk heterojunctions (BHJs) of nano-composite materials have received extensive attention from the scientic and technological communities for being potential alternatives to conventional heterojunctions in multiple technological applications. [1][2][3][4][5] BHJs are currently used in optoelectronics, [6][7][8][9][10] radiation detection and photodetection systems, 11,12 dielectrics and photovoltaic devices, 13,14 biology and medicine. [15][16][17][18] In hybrid photovoltaic devices, the polymer and the inorganic components offer additional complementary advantages owing to their low-cost manufacturing processes, exibility, reproducibility, and versatile functionalities.…”

“…Thus, the incorporation of nanocrystals in the polymer matrix can induce the formation of hybrid excitons resulting from the mixing of Frenkel-Wannier excitons. These hybrid excitons have the & A. Benchaabane benchaabane.aida@yahoo.fr 1 Laboratoire de Physique de la Matière Condensée, Faculté des Sciences d'Amiens, 80039 Amiens, France best properties of both Frenkel and Wannier excitons and are very sensitive to external electric and magnetic field perturbation. Moreover, they can present large optical resonance nonlinearity and low excitons saturation density [13][14][15], which is supposed to improve the optoelectronic properties of the sample with an enhancement of photogeneration carriers.…”

The optical properties of nanocomposite layers prepared by incorporation of tributylphosphine oxide (TBPO)-capped CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) in a P3HT polymer matrix are studied using different nanocrystal concentrations. Reflection spectra analyzed through Kim oscillator model lead to the determination of optical constants such as refractive index n, extinction coefficient k, dielectric permittivity e and absorption coefficient a.Using the common Cauchy, Drude-Lorentz, Tauc and single-effective-oscillator theoretical models, we have determined the values of static refractive index n s and permittivity e s , plasma frequency x p , carrier density N, optical band gap E g and oscillator and dispersion energies E 0 and E d , respectively. It is found that TBPO-capped CdSe NCs concentration affects the optoelectronic parameters of the nanocomposite thin films. Moreover, the disorder of this hybrid system is also studied by the determination of Urbach energy, which increases with TBPO-capped CdSe concentration.
