Abstract

AbstractThe electrical properties of composite films based on conductive polymer PEDOT: PSS, graphene oxide (GO), and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO_2) (PEDOT: PSS– TiO_2 and GO–TiO_2) used as contact layers of organic and perovskite photovoltaic structures have been studied. As a result of the study of morphology by atomic force microscopy, it was found that the PEDOT: PSS–TiO_2 and GO–TiO_2 films have a globular structure with a grain size of ~200–300 nm. The current–voltage characteristics of the PEDOT: PSS–TiO_2 and GO–TiO_2 films are measured in the temperature range of 80–300 K, the dependences of the resistivity versus temperature, ρ( T ), which have an activation character, are obtained. It is established that as the temperature decreases, the ρ( T ) dependences show a transition from large values of the activation energy (570 meV and 329 meV) to lower values (25 meV and 2.2 meV) for the PEDOT: PSS–TiO_2 and GO–TiO_2 films, respectively. The mechanisms of transport of charge carriers in the materials studied are discussed.
