Guanosine-functionalized ZnO nanoparticles for phtovoltaic applications
The present research project aims to characterize a functionalized ZnO nanoparticle dispersion in a polymer matrix as active layer for solar cells. This system could represent an improvement in renewable energy field for the higher expected efficiency level. This result can be achieved coating the ZnO nanoparticles with an electron conducting molecule such as guanosine. Eventually this potential active layer is composed by a network in which nanoparticles are bound to the polymer matrix, responsible for vacancies conduction, and at the same time are connected with each other by stacking interaction between guanosine molecules. SANS investigations can help in understanding the role played by the components in determining the properties of the polymer matrix, as well as the geometrical characteristics of it.
