Article Description

In this study we have synthesized and characterized FeS nanoparticles with larger optical band gap (3.19 eV) and high thermal stability by hydrothermal route with capping reagent PEG 400. This high quality FeS nanoparticle with higher band gap energy was applied as semiconducting acceptor in MEHPPV:FeS nanoparticle based hybrid solar cells to improve the open circuit voltage. Variations in the property of FeS have been done and confirmed by XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, FTIR, TGA, UV-VIS spectroscopy and Raman study. Two types of solar cells have been fabricated with structures: ITO/PEDOT:PSS/MEHPPV/Al and ITO/PEDOT:PSS/MEHPPV: FeS/Al. The open circuit voltage has been increased from 0.64 to 0.72 V by compositing FeS nanoparticle within MEHPPV matrix. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
