Utilization of MEH-PPV as a sensitizer in titana-based photovoltaic cells

A conjugated polymer poly[2-methoxy-5(2-ethyl-hexyloxy)-p-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) is utilized as the light-harvesting agent in a photovoltaic cell. Sensitized anodic and cathodic photocurrents are observed for CuCNS|MEH-PPV|TiO2 cells and heterojunctions with MEH-PPV.
