Effect 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 کاملComputational Study of Charge conducting Spacer molecules in Lead Chalcogenide Quantum dots
Q uantum dots (nanocrystals) have found applications in transistors, medical imaging,and solar cells, since they have band gaps that can be tuned into the far infrared region. This tuning is typically difficult to achieve with traditional semiconductor materials. The band gap tuning and self-assembly into a variety of large two-dimensional & three-dimensional superlattices makes them ideally su...
