In this study, the synthesis conditions of Bi 2S 3 nanorods were systematically investigated to obtain nanorods of a desired dimension, with high aspect ratios and good crystallinity. The as synthesized Bi 2S 3 nanorods, 37.2 nm in length and 6.1 nm in width, have a low band gap of ∼1.4 eV with a conduction band and valence band of -3.8 eV and -5.2 eV, respectively. The nanorods were blended with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) at a weight ratio of 1:1 to form a light harvesting P3HT:Bi 2S 3 hybrid film. The incorporated Bi 2S 3 nanorods can not only contribute light harvesting but also lead to a more ordered structure of the P3HT phase and a more efficient π-π* transition. Surface potential mapping of the hybrid film, measured by Kelvin probe force microscope (KPFM), shows a significantly negative shift (-34 mV) under white light illumination, which indicates carrier dissociation and the accumulation of negative charge on top of the hybrid film. The photovoltaic characteristics of the devices were also observed for those based on the P3HT:Bi 2S 3 hybrid film. This novel P3HT:Bi 2S 3 hybrid material provides a new candidate for the fabrication of low-cost and environmentally friendly polymer/inorganic hybrid solar cells. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry. |
