Abstract
A water-soluble composite of oxidised multi-wall carbon nanotubes and sulphonic acid sodium salt derivatised copper phthalocyanine for application in bi-layer organic solar cells is reported. Measurements of the topography of thin films of this novel material and of the valence electronic structure of its two components are used to rationalise the photovoltaic characteristics of a model organic heterojunction utilising the nanocomposite as the hole-extracting electrode and donor layer.
