Low-Cost Flexible Nano-Sulfide/Carbon Composite Counter Electrode for Quantum-Dot-Sensitized Solar Cell
Cu2S nanocrystal particles were in situ deposited on graphite paper to prepare nano-sulfide/carbon composite counter electrode for CdS/CdSe quantum-dot-sensitized solar cell (QDSC). By optimization of deposition time, photovoltaic conversion efficiency up to 3.08% was obtained. In the meantime, this composite counter electrode was superior to the commonly used Pt, Au and carbon counter electrod...
متن کاملReactively sputtered nickel nitride as electrocatalytic counter electrode for dye- and quantum dot-sensitized solar cells
Nickel nitride electrodes were prepared by reactive sputtering of nickel under a N2 atmosphere at room temperature for application in mesoscopic dye- or quantum dot- sensitized solar cells. This facile and reliable method led to the formation of a Ni2N film with a cauliflower-like nanostructure and tetrahedral crystal lattice. The prepared nickel nitride electrodes exhibited an excellent chemic...
متن کاملInAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Solar Cell
In this work Silvaco TCAD have been used to model quantum dot solar cell. It was found that the addition of InAs QD(quantum dot) in the intrinsic layer of hetero-structure InGaP/GaAs p-i-n solar cell extends the absorption range of the solar cell, thereby giving rise to efficiency enhancement of the QD solar cell by 3.8851 % it was also observed that the fill factor increases from 83.2724% to 8...
متن کاملLead Telluride Quantum Dot Solar Cells Displaying External Quantum Efficiencies Exceeding 120%
Multiple exciton generation (MEG) in semiconducting quantum dots is a process that produces multiple charge-carrier pairs from a single excitation. MEG is a possible route to bypass the Shockley-Queisser limit in single-junction solar cells but it remains challenging to harvest charge-carrier pairs generated by MEG in working photovoltaic devices. Initial yields of additional carrier pairs may ...
متن کاملPerformances of some low-cost counter electrode materials in CdS and CdSe quantum dot-sensitized solar cells
Different counter electrode (CE) materials based on carbon and Cu2S were prepared for the application in CdS and CdSe quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). The CEs were prepared using low-cost and facile methods. Platinum was used as the reference CE material to compare the performances of the other materials. While carbon-based materials produced the best solar cell performance in CdS Q...
