olar cells that are flexible and three dimensionally structured
to absorb light from any incident angle would serve a wide
range of applications in the domestic, commercial, and military
sectors, and can be readily incorporated into fabric-based
systems. We report the fabrication of novel dye sensitized solar
cells incorporating functional centers, CdS and CdSe quantumdot
sensitizers, an efficient P3HT/PCBM bulk hetero junction layer,
and well structure nano and micro porous TiO2 oxide layers. The
prepared cells were morphologically characterized using AFM
and SEM, and were electrically tested over a range of cell lengths
and in series/parallel configurations. Efficiencies of up to 7%
were observed, and the cells performed well in series and parallel
configurations, suggesting that cells with this configuration are
well suited for deployment in multi-cell systems. Therefore, solid
state power wires have great prospects to developmultifunctional
structural composites with inherent light sensing capabilities
for structural or aerospace safety and e-textiles by weaving our
optoelectronic wires into reinforcing fabrics.
