Improved light-harvesting and suppressed charge recombination by introduction of a nanograss-like SnO2 interlayer for efficient CdS quantum dot sensitized solar cells.


ABSTRACT: Quantum dot sensitized solar cell (QDSSC) performance is primarily limited by the recombination of charges at the interfaces of TiO2/quantum dot (QD) sensitizer/electrolyte. Hence, blocking or suppressing the charge recombination is an essential requirement to elevate the QDSSC performance to the next level. To retard the charge recombination, herein, we propose the introduction of a SnO2 nanograss (NG) interlayer on the surface of TiO2 using the facile chemical bath deposition method. The SnO2 NG interlayer not only inhibits the interfacial recombination processes in QDSSCs but also enhances the light-harvesting capability in generating more excitons. Hence, the TiO2/SnO2 NG/CdS QDSSCs can achieve the power conversion effic
