Efficient polymer/nanocrystal hybrid solar cells fabricated from aqueous materials

Efficient, low-cost polymer/nanocrystal (NC) hybrid solar cells fabricated from aqueous materials, a PPV precursor and CdTe NCs, were demonstrated. The cells showed an efficiency of 2.14% under AM 1.5 (100 mW cm(-2)). This work provided a facile and feasible protocol to produce efficient solar cells via a cheaper and greener route.
