Abstract: | In this study, after CdS quantum dots sensitized ZnO hierarchical spheres (ZnO HS), we used a simple process to deposit CdSe QDs on ZnO by spin-coating-based SILAR, and applied to photoanodes of quantum dots-sensitized solar cells. Before CdS and CdSe QDs deposition, the ZnO HS photoanodes were modified by Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O methanol solution to further enhance the open-circuit voltage and power conversion efficiency (PCE). The program of modifying photoanodes and the number of CdSe spin-SILAR cycles are evaluated on the optical and electrochemical properties of the cells. As a result, a high energy conversion efficiency of 2.49 % was obtained by using modified ZnO HS/CdS photoanode under AM 1.5 illumination of 100 mW cm?2. And further decorated by the CdSe QDs, the ZnO HS/CdS/CdSe cell achieved a PCE of 5.36 % due to the modification of ZnO HS nanostructure, the enhanced absorption in the visible region, the lower recombination reaction and higher electron lifetime. |
