Optical Absorption Study of Molybdenum Diselenide and Polyaniline and their Use in Hybrid Solar Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

The optical characterization of Molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) and polyaniline (PANI) has been carried in the wavelength range 200 nm to 2500 nm. The detailed analysis of the optical properties has been carried out only for a range 200 nm to 800 nm from which the indirect band gap around 1.42 eV for MoSe2 and 1 eV and 2.5 eV for PANI was evaluated. It was interesting to note that π π* transitions lead to two distinct orders of energy gaps. The hybrid cells were fabricated using a photosensitive interface between MoSe2 and PANI. Various parameters of these heterostructure hybrid cells have been evaluated and it was found that the photoconversion efficiency was around 1%. Using the solar cell characteristics, the presence of trapping centers at the n-MoSe2/ p-PANI interface has been confirmed.
