Restricted 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...

Advanced concepts for high efficiency solar cells such as hot carrier effects, Multi-Exciton Generation (MEG), and Intermediate-Band (IB) absorption in low-dimensional nanostructures are under focused research topics in recent years. Among various potential approaches, this chapter is devoted to the device physics and development of the state-of-the-art technologies for quantum dot-based IB sol...
متن کاملEnergy level modification in lead sulfide quantum dot thin films through ligand exchange.
The electronic properties of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are critically dependent on both QD size and surface chemistry. Modification of quantum confinement provides control of the QD bandgap, while ligand-induced surface dipoles present a hitherto underutilized means of control over the absolute energy levels of QDs within electronic devices. Here, we show that the energy levels of lead sulfi...
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 ...
متن کاملQuantum Dot Solar Cells: Preprint
Quantum dot (QD) solar cells have the potential to increase the maximum attainable thermodynamic conversion efficiency of solar photon conversion up to about 66% by utilizing hot photogenerated carriers to produce higher photovoltages or higher photocurrents. Three quantum dot solar cell configurations are described.
