PEDOT:PSS (poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrene sulfonate)) is a well-known commercial polyelectrolyte that is employed in a variety of electronic applications. It is commonly utilized as a charge transport layer or transparent conductive electrodes in organic photovoltaics due to qualities such as high transparency in the visible range, good film forming properties, high work function, and high electrical conductivity. Different concentrations of different amino acids were added to the PEDOT:PSS solution in this study to see how they affected morphology, work function, and conductivity. To monitor the changes after doping, the produced electrodes with doped PEDOT:PSS were evaluated using several characterisation techniques. The influence of modified electrodes on the performance of organic solar cells was also investigated.
