Introduction CdSe-P3HT (poly(3-hexylthiophene))) nanocomposites are studied for their application in hybrid solar cells. Semiconductor inorganic/organic hybrid solar cells offer many advantages relative to their non-hybrid counterparts. They have the advantages of conjugated polymers such as light weight, flexibility, abundance of resources, the potential for roll-to-roll and non-vacuum process...

The direct synthesis of CdSe nanoparticles inside the core of PS-P4VP micellar structures has been utilized for the easy fabrication of 2-D CdSe nanoparticle arrays with variable sizes on a solid substrate.

Ultrathin films have been prepared by self-assembling trioctylphosphine oxide, TOPO, capped n-type 20-40 Å diameter CdSe nanoparticles and 1,6-hexadecanethiol, HDT, onto p-doped semiconducting polymers, chemically deposited poly(3-methylthiophene), PMeT (for DeWice A), and electrochemically deposited poly(pyrrole), Ppy (for DeWice B). The semiconducting polymers have, in turn, been electrochemi...

One-dimensional (1D) assemblies of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) represent an important kind of 1D nanomaterial system due to their potential for exploring novel and enhanced electronic and photonic performances of devices. Herein, we present mass fabrication of a series of 1D arrays of CdSe and PbSe NCs on a large length scale with ultralong, aligned Se nanowires (NWs) as both the reactant ...

Maikap The pH sensors using protein-mediated CdSe/ZnS quantum dots in an electrolyte–insulator–semiconductor (EIS) structure have been investigated. The hydrophobic cylindrical cavity of the chaperonin (GroEL) protein templa...

Cadmium Selenide (CdSe) thin films were synthesized by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The XRD, SEM, UV-Visible absorption spectrum, dielectric studies and photoconductivity measurements were used to characterize the CdSe films. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to examine the structure of CdSe thin film. The surface morphology of the film was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscop...

We demonstrated the energy harvesting potential and piezotronic effect in vertically aligned CdSe nanowire (NW) arrays for the first time. The CdSe NW arrays were grown on a mica substrate by the vapor-liquid-solid process using a CdSe thin film as seed layer and platinum as catalyst. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy image and selected area electron diffraction pattern indicate ...

CdSe quantum dots have been prepared via a colloidal route using Mercaptoethanol (Thioglycol) (HOCH2CH2SH) as a capping agent. The stability of the particles in solution and embedded in TiO2 matrices has been followed by optical absorption and photoluminescence. Both the size and the size distribution of the particles are well controlled by ratio mole and temperature, thus allowing a tunable em...
