Planar Organic‐Si Hybrid Solar Cell with MoOx Mixed PEDOT:PSS as Hole Injection Layer Profits from Mo5+ and Mo6+ Synergistic Effects

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) hole injection layer plays an important role in planar Si/PEDOT:PSS heterojunction solar cells (HSCs). Herein, a MoO(x)mixed aqueous PEDOT:PSS cosolvent is developed and is applied into a Si/PEDOT:PSS solar cell preparation via a time-saving one-step spin-coating method. With an optimal concentration of MoO(x)dopants, the power conversion efficiency of the device exhibits from 10.26% up to 13.82% with all inherent photovoltaic parameters enhanced. The detailed characterization and analytical results indicate that an advanced electronic property is produced by MoO(x)dopants and interface optimization caused by synergistic effects from Mo(5+)and Mo(6+)species with PEDOT:PSS, which enhances its interface work function and promotes hole transportation capacity. The result paves a path for exploring efficient Si/PEDOT:PSS HSCs with suitable functional material and a simple solution-processable method.
