Two 8 μm thick TiO2 photoelectrodes have been sensitized separately by N719 dye molecules and CdS quantum dots for a comparison study. Photoinduced absorption (PIA) spectroscopy was employed to investigate the mechanistic properties of electrons under illumination conditions comparable to sunlight. The PIA spectrum of both electrodes (in the presence of electrolyte) is due to electrons in TiO2 and iodine radicals in the electrolyte. In the absence of redox electrolyte, both electrodes show long-lived photoinduced charge-separation with lifetime in a millisecond range (8.5 ms for Q-dot-sensitized TiO2 and 11.5 ms for dye-sensitized TiO2).

Quantum dot sensitized solar cell (QDSSC) has a potential high efficiency as the third generation solar cell, on account of the excellent performance of quantum dots. CdS is one of the most widely used quantum dot of QDSSCs, hence the optimization of its preparation process is extremely important. CdS quantum dots prepared in aqueous or alcohol on TiO2 film by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method are investigated and alcohol is found to be better than water as the precursor solvent.
