Organic solar photovoltaic cells

Abstract

In photovoltaic industry the research at solar cells is in continuous development from the innovation at organic molecules until efficient plastics new products have been presented recently, improving efficiencies and costs. In this work we prepared photovoltaic solar organic cells based on the work of J.L Maldonado et al., where the authors proposed an improvement of the solar cells when it is used fullerene-60 as doped material. We characterized the generated solar cells using the optical fringe projection technique and scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging, the results gives us 40 μm, for the cells width; and an electric characterization measuring currents of 8 mA.
