SILAR Sensitization as an Effective Method for Making Efficient Quantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells
CdSe quantum dots were in situ deposited on various structures of TiO2 photoanode by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). Various sensitized TiO2 structures were integrated as a photoanode in order to make quantum dot sensitized solar cells. High power conversion efficiency was obtained; 2.89 % (Voc=524 mV, Jsc=9.78 mA/cm2, FF=0.56) for the cells that sensitized by SILAR meth...
متن کاملPhosphine-Free Heat up Synthesis of CdSe Nanocrystals for Quantum-dot-sensitized Solar Cells
We demonstrate a low cost, phosphine-free route to synthesize CdSe quantum dots (QDs) by heating the mixed precursors of Se and Cd up to 260 C. The as-synthesized CdSe QDs are characterized by using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractrometry, and EDX analyses. The CdSe QDsensitized TiO2 films of solar cells has been fabricated by ...
متن کاملHighly efficient quantum dot-sensitized TiO2 solar cells based on multilayered semiconductors (ZnSe/CdS/CdSe).
A new approach by inserting a layer of ZnSe QDs was studied to enhance the adsorption of CdS/CdSe QDs resulting in much improved power conversion efficiency. ZnSe, CdS and CdSe QDs were sequentially assembled on a nanocrystalline TiO2 film to prepare a ZnSe/CdS/CdSe sensitized photoelectrode for QD-sensitized solar cell (QDSSC) applications. The results show that the performance of QDSSCs is st...
متن کاملCdS/CdSe Co-Sensitized Solar Cell Prepared by Jointly Using Successive Ion Layer Absorption and Reaction Method and Chemical Bath Deposition Process
CdS/CdSe quantum dots co-sensitized TiO2 solar cell was prepared by combining the successive ion layer absorption and reaction (SILAR) method and chemical bath deposition (CBD) method for the fabrication of CdS and CdSe quantum dots, respectively. The effect of CdSe deposition time on the solar cell performance was investigated. It was found that the optimized deposition time for CdSe was 3 h, ...

Investigation into integrated PEC/PVC for water splitting and light harvesting has focused on doping, QD sensitization and nanomaterials morphology. We have demonstrated, for the first time, PVC based on combined use of nitrogen doping and CdSe QD sensitization of nanocrystalline TiO2 thin films with promising results for solar energy conversion. Such TiO2:N/CdSe PVC produced an incident-photon...
