Abstract: Bulk heterojunction photovolataic devices based on blends of conjugated polymer poly (2- methoxyl-5- dodecoxyl p-phenyl vinylene) (PMODOPV) as electron donor and crystalline ZnO nanowires as electron acceptor have been studied. We show that photovoltaic devices using zinc oxide nanowires overlaid with conjugated polymers give improved performance compared with devices made only from polymer. The improvement is consistent with improved electron transport perpendicular to the plane of the film. Solar power conversion efficiency of 1.37% were achieved under AM 1.5 illumination.
