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.
