Abstract
Polysilane-based organic solar cells with bulk heterojunction and heterojunction structures were fabricated by spin-coating using a mixture solution. Microstructures of the solar cells were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy, which indicated a nanocomposite and amorphous structure. The effects of phosphorus and boron doping into polysilanes were investigated by electrical measurements, Raman scattering analysis and Hall effect measurements. Here, we discuss the photovoltaic properties and microstructures of the solar cells. Energy levels in the present solar cells are also discussed.
