Abstract In this work, hybrid composites formed by PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):-polystyrene sulfonate) and anatase TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized by hydrolysis were spin-coated on Si substrates in order to evaluate their potential implementation in Si-hybrid solar cells, based on their passivation behaviour. X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), Raman spectroscopy, quasi-steady state photoconductance (QSS-PC) based on PL imaging, and Hall effect measurements were carried out for the structural, optical and electrical characterization. Enhanced carrier lifetime values of τ ~ 0.5 ms were obtained by adding a controlled amount of TiO2 nanoparticles (0.5% wt.) to the PEDOT:PSS matrix.
