Electrical properties of nanocomposite materials based on PEDOT:PSS polymer mixture doped with Ag, Ag-TiO2 and Ag-SiO2 nanoparticles

Plasmonic enhanced polymer solar cell with inclusion of Ag@SiO2 core‐shell nanostructures

“…The similar results were found previously for the film with the addition of Ag@TiO 2 NS. 36 The electrical resistance of PEDOT:PSS films with additive of Ag@TiO 2 NSs was lower than the resistance of the films with silver nanoparticles.…”

Optimization of SiO 2 –TiO 2 nanocomposite in hole‐transporting layer (PEDOT:PSS) for enhanced performance of planar Si‐based hybrid solar cells

“…Jafari et al observed an increase in the device performance with the incorporation of TiO 2 NPs in PEDOT:PSS layer 34 . Improved electrical properties of PEDOT:PSS layer were reported by Alikhaidarova et al after the embedment of an Ag‐TiO 2 nanocomposite (NC) in it 35 . In organic solar cells, Vladimirova et al stated that adding SiO 2 NPs enhances the incident light scattering when embedded in the PEDOT:PSS layer, thus improving the overall cell performance 36 .…”

“…34 Improved electrical properties of PEDOT:PSS layer were reported by Alikhaidarova et al after the embedment of an Ag-TiO 2 nanocomposite (NC) in it. 35 In organic solar cells, Vladimirova et al stated that adding SiO 2 NPs enhances the incident light scattering when embedded in the PEDOT:PSS layer, thus improving the overall cell performance. 36 A composite of SiO 2 NPs with PEDOT:PSS improves the J SC and the fill factor (FF) along with a slight improvement in the V OC of dye-sensitized cells as compared to the bare PEDOT:PSS as reported by Song et al 28 On the other hand, V azquez-L opez et al stated that the addition of TiO 2 NPs in the organic layer provides better surface passivation of Si substrate, which reduces the charge recombination and thus facilitates the V OC .…”

“…However, it is evident from the literature that the embedment of particles of size between 20 and 50 nm is optimum for better effect on the properties of the organic layer. Since the thickness of the organic layer is limited, larger particle sizes deteriorate the layer, while smaller particle sizes are more difficult to synthesize 35,36,39,40 …”

Light Managements and Transparent Electrodes for Semitransparent Organic and Perovskite Solar Cells

“…[ 120 ] Alikhaidarova et al studied the electrical properties of composite films based on a polymers mixture of PEDOT:PSS with an addition of Ag NPs; their results showed that the relative permittivity of the film increased after doping with Ag NPs, with a reduction of resistance according to impedance measurement. [ 121 ] Kang et al modulated the conductivity and work function of PEDOT:PSS by controlling the mixture ratio of PH1000 and AI 4083. It had been found that 2:1 was the optimal volume ratio to provide the conductivity of 443 S cm −1 with a work function of 5.09 eV (Figure 12c,d).…”
