In this study, we investigate organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells with a very simple three-layer structure (Al/n-Si/ PEDOT:PSS). The performance of hybrid solar cells is optimized by controlling the sheet resistance and optical transmittance of the PEDOT:PSS layers. As the thickness of the PEDOT:PSS layer decreases, the optical absorption of the n-Si increases, which greatly improves the short-circuit current density (JSC) of devices, but the increase in sheet resistance leads to a decrease in the open-circuit voltage (VOC) and the fill factor (FF). The solar cell with the 180-nm thick PEDOT:PSS layer shows a highest efficiency of 8.45% (VOC: 0.435 V, JSC: 33.7 mA/cm2, FF: 57.5%). Considering these results, it is expected that the optimizing process for the sheet resistance and transmittance of the PEDOT:PSS layer is essential for producing high-efficiency organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells and will serve as an important basis for achieving low-cost, high-efficiency solar cells.
