Electrical Conductivity and Hall Effect Study of Organic Solar Cell Using Downy Rose Myrtle Berries as Natural Dye: A Heat Treatment

Abstract

This work focused on the electrical and Hall Effect of Organic Solar cell (OSC). In this work, Indium Tin oxide (ITO) glass as substrate was heated at 50 °C to 200 °C. The polymer used was Poly (3-Dodecylthiophene) (P3DT) thin film and Downy Rose Myrtle berries (RhodomyrtusTomentosa(Ait.) Hassk.) as dye. The P3DT were deposited on the ITO substrate using electrochemistry method at room temperature. While, the dye of Downy Rose Myrtle berries was deposited by layered using spin coating method. The electrical conductivity of ITO deposited thin film was explored by four point probes (FPP) under dark and under light radiation (range of 10 Wm-2 to 200Wm-2). From FPP study, the electrical conductivity was increased by the increment of light intensity and temperature of substrate. Lastly, the samples were examined using Hall Effect measurement to obtain the type of sample, Hall mobility, and highest charge carrier in the sample of OSC. The results show that the sample is suitable for further solar cell application.
