Sensitized Solar Cells

Quantum dot-sensitized solar cell (QDSSC) has an analogous structure and working principle to the dye sensitizer solar cell (DSSC). It has drawn great attention due to its unique features, like multiple exciton generation (MEG), simple fabrication and low cost. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of QDSSC is lower than that of DSSC. To increase the PCE of QDSSC, it is required to develop new types of working electrodes, sensitizers, counter electrodes and electrolytes. This review highlights recent developments in QDSSCs and their key components, including the photoanode, sensitizer, electrolyte and counter electrode.

In this investigation we report the formation of thin ZnO recombination barrier layer at TiO2/CdS interface aimed for the improvement in performance of CdS sensitized solar cell. The film was deposited upon nanocrystalline mesoporous TiO2 surface by following a simple chemical process and characterized, using UV-Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and electron dispersive X-ray measurements. The insertion of ZnO thin layer enhances the QDSC (Quantum dot sensitized solar cell) performance, contributed mainly by an increase in open circuit voltage (Voc) due to reduced electron back transfer from TiO2 conduction band. Moreover, the analysis of photovoltaic characteristics upon increasing the thickness of the ZnO film reveals that the ZnO recombination barrier layer with optimum thickness at porous TiO2/CdS interface proved to be an effective potential barrier for minimizing electron back recombination.
