Nanostructured titania films sensitized by quantum dot chalcogenides
The optical and structural properties of cadmium and lead sulfide nanocrystals deposited on mesoporous TiO2 substrates via the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method were comparatively investigated by reflectance, transmittance, micro-Raman and photoluminescence measurements. Enhanced interfacial electron transfer is evidenced upon direct growth of both CdS and PbS on TiO2 throug...
متن کاملRestricted charge recombination process in PbS quantum dot sensitized solar cells by different coating cycles of ZnS films
The relatively low power conversion efficiency (PCE) of quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) is attributed to charge recombination at the interfaces. Charge recombination process could be suppressed by coating the QD layer with a wide band gap semiconductor such as ZnS, which acts as a blocking layer between the QDs and hole transport material (HTM). In present study, to improve PCE of P...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic properties of titania nanostructured films fabricated from Titania nanosheets.
We examined the photochemical properties of well-ordered multilayer films of titania nanosheets prepared on quartz-glass substrate using the layer-by-layer deposition method. The photocatalytic decomposition of gaseous 2-propanol and bleaching of Methylene Blue dye under UV light illumination were measured to evaluate the photocatalytic oxidation ability. Photoinduced hydrophilicity was also st...
متن کاملQuantum Dot Sensitized Photoelectrodes
Quantum Dots (QDs) are promising alternatives to organic dyes as sensitisers for photocatalytic electrodes. This review article provides an overview of the current state of the art in this area. More specifically, different types of QDs with a special focus on heavy-metal free QDs and the methods for preparation and adsorption onto metal oxide electrodes (especially titania and zinc oxide) are ...
متن کاملQuantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells
In response to rapidly increasing global energy demand, the development of alternative energy sources to fossil fuels has emerged as one of the most urgent technological challenges. Solar energy, which represents a nearly unlimited source of clean power, has been considered as one of the most promising new energy sources. In addition to the current success of silicon based solar cells, quantum ...
