ZnO Hierarchical Nanostructure Photoanode in a CdS Quantum Dot-Sensitized Solar Cell
A hierarchical array of ZnO nanocones covered with ZnO nanospikes was hydrothermally fabricated and employed as the photoanode in a CdS quantum dot-sensitized solar cell (QDSSC). This QDSSC outperformed the QDSSC based on a simple ZnO nanocone photoanode in all the four principal photovoltaic parameters. Using the hierarchical photoanode dramatically increased the short circuit current density ...
متن کاملZnO/TiO2 nanocable structured photoelectrodes for CdS/CdSe quantum dot co-sensitized solar cells.
Photoelectrode made of nanocable structure of ZnO nanorods (NR) coated with TiO(2) nanosheets (NSs) was investigated for CdS/CdSe quantum dot co-sensitized solar cells. ZnO NRs prepared solution reaction at 60 °C served as the backbone for direct electron transport in view of the single crystallinity of the ZnO NRs and the high electron mobility of ZnO semiconductor. Anatase TiO(2) NSs with the...
متن کاملZnO nanoparticle based highly efficient CdS/CdSe quantum dot-sensitized solar cells.
20 nm ZnO nanoparticles are used to fabricate the mesoporous photoanode of the CdS/CdSe quantum dot-sensitized solar cells by the simple doctor blade method. A maximum power conversion efficiency of 4.46% has been achieved, which indicated exciting prospects for ZnO nanoparticle based quantum dot-sensitized solar cells.
متن کاملHigh-efficiency cascade CdS/CdSe quantum dot-sensitized solar cells based on hierarchical tetrapod-like ZnO nanoparticles.
Quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) constructed using cascade CdS/CdSe sensitizers and the novel tetrapod-like ZnO nanoparticles have been fabricated. The cascade co-sensitized QDSCs manifested good electron transfer dynamics and overall power conversion efficiency, compared to single CdS- or CdSe-sensitized cells. The preliminary CdS layer is not only energetically favorable to electron...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Graphene-ZnO Nanocomposite and its Application in Photovoltaic Cells
In this paper, we present a simple method for preparation of graphene-ZnO nanocomposites (G-ZnO). The method is based on thermal treatment of the graphene oxide (GO)/ZnO paste which reduces the graphene oxide into the graphene and leads to the formation of the G-ZnO nanocomposite. The structure, morphology and optical properties of synthesized nanocomposites are characterized with XRD, FESEM, F...
