Improved efficiency of hybrid solar cells based on non-ligand-exchanged CdSe quantum dots and poly(3-hexylthiophene)
Abstract
We report on bulk-heterojunction hybrid solar cells based on blends of non-ligand-exchanged CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and the conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) with improved power conversion efficiencies of about 2% under AM1.5G illumination after spectral mismatch correction. This is the highest reported value for a spherical CdSe QD based photovoltaic device. After synthesis, the CdSe QDs are treated by a simple and fast acid-assisted washing procedure, which has been identified as a crucial factor in enhancing the device performance. A simple model of a reduced ligand sphere is proposed explaining the power conversion efficiency improvement.

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.
