Abstract: "We demonstrate that
semiconductor nanorods can be used to fabricate readily processed and
efficient
hybrid solar cells together with polymers. By controlling nanorod length, we
can change the distance on which electrons are transported directly through
the thin film device. Tuning the band gap by altering the nanorod radius
enabled us to optimize the overlap between the absorption spectrum of the cell
and the solar emission spectrum. A photovoltaic device consisting of
7-nanometer by 60-nanometer CdSe nanorods and the conjugated polymer
poly-3(hexylthiophene) was assembled from solution with an external quantum
efficiency of over 54% and a monochromatic power conversion efficiency of 6.9%
under 0.1 milliwatt per square centimeter illumination at 515 nanometers.
Under Air Mass (A.M.) 1.5 Global solar conditions, we obtained a power
conversion efficiency of 1.7%."
