“…2a, the maximum vertical distance between the highest and the lowest data points is approximately 100 nm. The root mean square (RMS) value is 20.2 nm, which nearly doubled the values established in a previous work (Gan et al, 2006). Findings suggest that a greater RMS value is associated with increase in mean crystallite size.…”

Compared with conventional transparent conductive indium tin oxide (ITO) films, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrenesulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) as a conductive polymer material has been diffusely applied in organic optoelectronic devices. However, its optoelectrical properties need to be further improved. Therefore, a simple and universal approach with introducing ITO nanoparticles (NPs) was proposed to improve the optoelectrical properties of PEDOT:PSS thin films. The results show that the vertical conductivity (σDC⊥) and average transmittance (from 300 to 1200 nm) of PEDOT:PSS films were enhanced about 26.8 and 6.3%, respectively. Crystalline silicon (c-Si)/organic heterojunction solar cells (HSCs) with PEDOT:PSS/ITO NP hybrid films were fabricated and performances led to further improvement. The spatial distributions of relative electrical field intensity and the carrier generation rate of the HSCs under the standard AM 1.5 G condition were simulated, which were in good agreement with the experimental conclusions.

Silver (Ag) introduced colloidal Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO) ink for transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) was prepared to overcome the limitation of colloidally prepared thin film; low density thin film, high resistance. ITO@Ag colloid ink was made by controlling the weight ratio of ITO and Ag nanoparticles through ball-milling and fabricated using spin coating. These films were dried at 220 °C and heat-treated at 450–750 °C in an air atmosphere to pyrolyze the organic ligand attached to the nanoparticles. All thin films showed high crystallinity. As the thermal treatment temperature increased, films showed a cracked surface, but as the weight percentage of silver increased, a flattened and smooth surface appeared, caused by the metallic silver filling the gap between the nano-particles. This worked as a bridge to allow electrical conduction, which decreases the resistivity over an order of magnitude, from 309 to 0.396, and 0.107 Ω·cm for the ITO-220 °C, ITO-750 °C, and ITO@Ag (7.5 wt.%)-750 °C, respectively. These films also exhibited >90% optical transparency. Lowered resistivity is caused due to the inclusion of silver, providing a sufficient number of charge carriers. Furthermore, the work function difference between ITO and silver builds an ohmic junction, allowing fluent electrical flow without any barrier.
