Abstract

VI semiconductors are promising nanomaterials for applications as window layers in low-cost and high-efficiency thin film solar cells. These nanoparticles are considered to be the model systems for investigating the unique optical and electronic properties of quantum-confined semiconductors. The electrical and optical properties of polymers are improved by doping with semiconductor materials and metal ions. In particular, nanoparticle-doped polymers are considered to be a new class of organic materials due to their considerable modification of physical properties. In this paper, I review the present status of these types of Inorganic/Organic hybrid nanocomposite materials. CdSe nanorods dispersed in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix have been prepared by chemical routes. Different characterization techniques like structural, optical and electrical have been used to characterize these nanocomposites. The devices like Schottky diodes and MOS structures have been fabricated and the results have been discussed in this review. The results have been compared with the reported literature by other groups also. Table of Contents
