Abstract

A single wall carbon nanotube - fullerene (SWNT-C₆₀) complex is used as a component of the photoactive layer in bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells (PSCs). As compared to a control cell with only C₆₀, the addition of SWNTs resulted in an improvement of both the short circuit current density J_SC and the fill factor (FF), leading to enhanced power conversion efficiency. This device takes advantage of the electron accepting feature of C₆₀ and the excellent electron transport capability of SWNTs. The results indicate that C₆₀ modified SWNTs are promising additives for performance enhancement of PSCs.
