Photovoltaic activity in a ZnTe/PEO–chitosan blend electrolyte junction
A ZnTe/polymer junction has been fabricated and the photovoltaic properties studied. The polymer is a blend of 50 wt% chitosan and 50 wt% polyethylene oxide (PEO). The polymer blend was complexed with ammonium iodide (NH 4I) and some iodine crystals were added to the polymer–NH 4I solution to provid...

V
