Abstract
We have reported the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the aqueous extract of Sapodilla (Manilkara zapota) fruit as nontoxic and eco-friendly reducing material. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized and used for preparing nanocomposites with GO and PEDOT:PSS. We have compared the performance of polymer cells based on poly(3,4 ethylenedioxy-thiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) with AgNPs incorporated in graphene oxide (GO). The constructed structure of the solar devices was ITO-AgNPs-GO-PEDOT:PSS-Al. We have investigated the influence of polymer as a hole extraction layer and GO as electron extraction layer on the performance of bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells. The maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) was found to be 3.98% under illumination of 100 mW/cm2.
