Core/CdS Quantum Dot/Shell Mesoporous Solar Cells with Improved Stability and Efficiency Using an Amorphous TiO2 Coating
Abstract
Here we present a CdS quantum dot sensitized solar cell based on a mesoporous TiO 2 film with remarkable stability using I − /I 3 − electrolyte. Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD) was used to deposit the CdS quantum dots within the porous network. We show that a thin coating of the QD sensitized film with an amorphous TiO 2 layer strongly improves the performance and photostability of the solar cell. We propose that the coating passivates QD surface states which act as hole traps and are responsible for photodegradation of the device. In addition, this coating decreases the recombination of electrons from the CdS quantum dots and the mesoporous TiO 2 into the electrolyte solution. We obtain a significant improvement of all cell parameters resulting in a total light to electric power conversion efficiency of 1.24%.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
