Application of organic photovoltaic cell: poly(2-aminofluoren)/multi-walled carbon nanotube composites

This work presents the 2-aminofluorene polymer matrix based on the multi-walled carbon nanotube module for an alternative energy conversion system as a photovoltaic solar cell. The properties of the MWCNT-PAF composite were taken characterized by thermogravimetric methods, differential scanning calorimetry, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, scanning electron microscope images and X-ray powder diffraction analysis, furthermore, photophysical properties are observed in cyclic voltammetry, fluorescent and UV-Vis spectrometer. This work pioneer that the synthesized new structures are used for the first time in the active layers of solar cell devices. These new conductive polymers have exhibited good performance by adding different proportions of MWCNT to the functionalized PAF polymer, which were used for the first time in the active layer of OPV devices. According to our results PAF1, PAF2, PAF3 material exhibited more efficient performance than PAF.
