Structural modification and conductivity enhancement of NiCl2 incorporated P3HT: PC60BM based organic photoactive layer

The poor crystalline structure in P3HT has limited the device performance of organic photovoltaic. Surface modification of P3HT has been reported to enhance the intrinsic properties of the molecular structure. This project focus on the incorporation of NiCl2 at different volume percentages into P3HT...
