Hybrid solar cells based on nanocrystals and conjugated polymer are emerging as a suitable alternative to classical solar cells. This kind of solar cell has attracted great attentions, because of the absorption spectra tunable by the size, shape and composition of nanocrystals, and their higher electron transfer velocity than that of polymer. This article reviews the status of the nanocrystal/ polymer hybrid solar cells. The factors affecting the solar cell performance are critically examined including the size and morphology of nanocrystals, the capping ligand, and the interfacial charge transportations between nanocrystals and polymer. Several strategies for increasing the overall efficiency of this hybrid solar cell are discussed. Narrow band gap nanocrystals, structure optimizations and analysis of the mechanism of charge transportations are expected as the routes for future development of this solar cell.
Key words: nanocrystal, polymer, solar cell, efficiency, charge transportation
