Dye-sensitized solar cell’s (DSSC) performances are enhanced by engineering the materials at interface of various device components owing to easy and inexpensive fabrication steps. Ru (II) polypyridyl-based synthetic dyes most widely used photosensitizers for DSSCs due their superior molar extinction coefficient facile interaction with metal oxide electrodes. However, these mostly expensive, as...

in this report, we present a facile approach for the synthesis of luminescent cds and cds:mn+2 nanocrystals by reaction of cdso4 and na2s2o3 in the presence of thioglycerol (c3h8o2s) as capping agent. the influence of various experimental variables including, ph values and percentage of dopant, on the growth rate and optical properties of the obtained cds nanocrystals has been systematically in...
