Abstract
This study describes the development of an alternative conducting polymer for organic photovoltaic cell application. Chemical structure of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) was modified by two reactions, dehydrochlorination followed by fullerenation. The aim of this work was to explore the feasibility of using this chemically modified PVC (C60-g-DHPVC) as an electron acceptor phase in ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:acceptor/TiOx/Al bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cell. From the result, it was found that the power conversion efficiency of the BHJ cell employing PCBM as an electron acceptor alone increased from 0.5% to the maximum value of 1.34%, after the addition of C60-g-DHPVC.
