摘要
Titanium (Ti) doped polythiophene (PTh), polyaniline (PANi) and its copolymer system were chemically synthesized via oxidation route using titanium chloride as an oxidant Synthesized PANi-Ti, PTh-Ti and PTh-co-PANi-Ti were characterized by TG-DTA, FE-SEM and UV-vis and were used to fabricate photovoltaic (PV) cell. UV-vis study shows that optical band gap of reduces in copolymer system of PTh-co-PANi-Ti. It was observed that reduction in band gap value results in enhancement of power conversion efficiency (PCE). PV properties shows that the PTh-co-PANi-Ti exhibited the highest efficiency n=2.66, with a short circuit current (I-sc)= 1.17 mA, open circuit voltage (V-oc)=0.85 and a fill factor (FF)= 0.5854.
