Modification of hybrid active bilayer for enhanced efficiency and stability in planar heterojunction colloidal quantum dot photovoltaics
Solution-processed planar heterojunction colloidal quantum dot photovoltaics with a hybrid active bilayer is demonstrated. A power conversion efficiency of 1.24% under simulated air mass 1.5 illumination conditions is reported. This was achieved through solid-state treatment with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide of PbS colloidal quantum dot solid films. That treatment was used to passivate Br ato...
متن کاملPiezoelectric-polarization-enhanced photovoltaic performance in depleted-heterojunction quantum-dot solar cells.
Colloidal quantum-dot (QD) photovoltaics (PVs) have shown a promising future with merits of low-cost processing, tunable spectral absorption, long-lifetime hot carriers, and multipleexciton generation by a single photon. [ 1–5 ] For instance, tailoring the semiconductor bandgap of QDs by the quantum-size effect enables multijunction PVs in single-junction QD solar cells (QDSCs). [ 4 ] The abili...
متن کاملEffect of PbS Film Thickness on the Performance of Colloidal Quantum Dot Solar Cells
Colloidal quantum dots offer broad tuning of semiconductor band structure via the quantum size effect. In this paper, we present a detailed investigation on the influence of the thickness of colloidal lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals (active layer) to the photovoltaic performance of colloidal quantum dot solar cells. The PbS nanocrystals (QDs) were synthesized in a non-coordinating solvent, 1-oc...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Complementary Nanostructures for Light Trapping in Colloidal Quantum Dot Solar Cells
We have investigated two complementary nanostructures, nanocavity and nanopillar arrays, for light absorption enhancement in depleted heterojunction colloidal quantum dot (CQD) solar cells. A facile complementary fabrication process is demonstrated for patterning these nanostructures over the large area required for light trapping in photovoltaic devices. The simulation results show that both p...
متن کاملIntroducing nanostructure patterns for performance enhancement in PbS colloidal quantum dot solar cells
With attention to the thin film structure of colloidal quantum dot solar cells, in this paper in order to improvement of active layer absorption of them, we have proposed the use of nanostructure pattern for enhancement of their performance. For this purpose we have presented suitable nano hemisphare patterns in colloidal quantum dot solar cells for light trapping in absorption layer. Then with...
