Retracted: Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) films by electrospray deposition for crystalline silicon/organic hybrid junction solar cells

Abstract

The above article, published online on 25 July 2012 in Wiley Online Library (http://wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editor‐in‐Chief, Stefan Hildebrandt, and Wiley‐VCH GmbH & Co. KGaA. The retraction has been agreed since the contents of the article have already been published by the corresponding author in Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 51, 061602 (2012) on 4 June 2012. The manuscript submitted to physica status solidi (c) was part of the E‐MRS 2012 Spring Meeting, Symposium A, Proceedings. The authors regret the dual publication and express their sincere apologies to readers.

Plasmonic‐enhanced crystalline silicon/organic heterojunction cells by incorporating gold nanoparticles

“…The capacitance versus voltage ( C–V ) characteristic measurement was carried out by a Keithley 4200 Semiconductor Characterization System (SCS) coupled with a LCR meter (HIS 2700). The thicknesses of the organic layers were obtained from spectroscopic ellipsometer (SE) spectra, which were fitted using the amorphous oscillator model described in our previous work .…”

Improved PEDOT:PSS/c-Si hybrid solar cell using inverted structure and effective passivation

“…The most common organic materials developed so far include poly (3-hexylthiophene), (P3HT) 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis-[N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl]amino]-9,9′-spirobifluorene(spiro-OMeTAD), ploy (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly-strenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and so on 15 16 17 18 . Among these, PEDOT:PSS is the most favorite one as the hole transport material (HTM) on c-Si for its high transparency, hole-conducting ability, suitable work function, and easy fabrication methods 19 20 21 . Over the past few years, the reported efficiency of c-Si HSC based on PEDOT:PSS is mostly around 13% 5 13 19 22 23 .…”
