Hello, I have been trying to make a 2D solar cell with the structure FTO/TmPyPB/PCBM/P3HT:PCBM/MoO3/Au:Pd. I covered a portion of FTO with an adhesive tape to deposit different layers and then took potentiostate data. I used FTO to connect the WE and an electrolyte and silver wire touching Au:Pd to connect CE. But, its giving me short circuit. I am pretty new in this area. Can anyone please help me to understand where is the issue and how should I solve this? Thanks.
Dear Brishty,
This is the first time that i see you question.
The first comment you do not need to use electrolyte at all.
You already have a complete solid sate solar cells. So, you can measure it directly.
When you immerse it in electrolyte the electrolyte short circuit the cell as it is conducting medium.
Remedy,
Measure the solar cell without immersing it in the electrolyte. You just connect your electrodes between Au:Pd and FTO.
Please report after measurements.
Best wishes
Dear Abdelhalim abdelnaby Zekry ,
Many thanks for your answer. I will report after measurement.
