A novel bifunctional linker molecule, bis(4-mercaptophenyl)phosphinic acid, is designed to be used in a QDs solar cells. The linker anchors to TiO2 mesoporous film through the phosphinic acid functional group and to the PbS QDs through the two thiol groups ...
The first solution-processed depleted bulk heterojunction colloidal quantum dot solar cells are presented. The architecture allows high absorption with full depletion, thereby breaking the photon absorption/carrier extraction compromise inherent in planar ...
The optoelectronic properties of transparent nanocrystalline TiO2 films were modified by the incorporation of a low level of Ga3+ or Y3+ cations. After optimizing their relative concentration level, we were able to increase in a noticeable manner the power ...
Zinc oxide-titanium dioxide core-shell nanowire dye-sensitised solar cells have been synthesised, making use of a recently developed organic dye and iodide-based electrolyte. We have been able to demonstrate a cell efficiency of 2.53% under AM1.5 for our s ...
