The photoelectrochemical properties of all-solid-state photoelectrochemical cell constructed from a conjugated polymer poly[3-(4-octylphenyl)thiophene] and an amorphous poly(ethylene oxide) complexed with iodide/triiodide redox couple were studied. In order to develop flexible photoelectrochemical cells, we have used a transparent polymeric metal, doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), as a counter electrode. It was shown that poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) improved the charge transfer between indium tin-oxide and iodide/triiodide redox couple. The spectral response, photocurrent time, and open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current dependence on light intensity have been studied. The photon to electron conversion efficiency obtained was low. The photocurrent and photovoltage dependence studies on light intensity indicate exciton recombination and/or traps as limiting factors.
