Abstract
The direct electrodeposition of 3-methylthiophene (MeT) into poly(3-me thylthiophene) (PMeT) on aluminium-doped cadmium sulphide, CdS(Al), in the form of sprayed thin films, leads to a Schottky solid-state junct ion PMeT-CdS(Al) when PMeT is in its highly doped metal-like state. At tention has been focused on the effect of the parameters of electropol ymerization of PMeT. The concentration of the monomer produced signifi cant changes in the photovoltaic parameters of the junction, such as i deality factor (n), saturation current density (J(0)), barrier height (Phi(B)), fill factor (FF), series and shunt resistances (R-s, R-sh), and conversion efficiency (eta).
