Hybrid Solar Cells based on Organic Polymers and Inorganic Nanoparticles

<ul>
<li>
<pre>
<span><span>To synthesize highly pure, crystalline CdS and CdInS 2 nanoparticles with

different morphologies and photoconductivity together with desired band gap.
<span><span>
Especially, the main focus would be to tune the nanoparticles band-gap so as to

exploit the solar energy spectrum.</span></span></span></span></pre>

<li>
<pre>
<span><span>To disperse effectively the above photoactive inorganic semiconducting

nanoparticles in suitable organic polymers viz. P3HT, MDMO: PPV, P3OT etc.

with different aspect ratio to achieve efficient connectivity/percolation.</span></span></pre>
