Abstract

A polymer solar cell based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)/iron disulfide (FeS₂) nanocrystal (NC) hybrid is presented. The FeS₂ NCs of 10nm in diameter were homogeneously blended with P3HT to form an active layer of a solar cell. An extended red light harvesting up to 900nm resulting from the NCs in the device has been demonstrated, compared to a typical absorption edge of 650nm of a pristine P3HT. The environmentally friendly and low-cost FeS₂ NCs can be used as a promising candidate for an acceptor in the polymer solar cell device application with an enhanced photovoltaic response in the extended red light region.
