Transport mechanism studies in TiO2/In(OH)xSy/Pb(OH)xSy/PEDOT:PSS eta solar cell have been carried
out. The characterizations have been performed both in the dark and under varying illumination intensity
for temperature range 200 K – 320 K. The recombination process of the eta solar cell in the dark has been
found to be tunneling enhanced, while under illumination it is thermally activated and takes place through
exponentially distributed energy recombination levels. The illumination intensity and temperature have
also been found to have a strong influence on the device conversion efficiency, with the highest efficiency
being realized at 200 K.
