Photovoltaic characterizations of nanocomposited MEH-PPV: TiO₂ organic solar cell / Fazlinashatul Suhaidah Zahid
Recently, interest has been growing in these past few years in incorporating poly [2- methoxy-5-(2-ethyl-hexyloxy)-l,4-phenylene-vinylene] (MEH-PPV) polymer and Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) nanocomposite based organic solar cell devices. The MEHPPV: TiO₂ nanocomposite was being studied more closely becau...
