Cu2GeSe3 quantum dot is introduced to instead of non-toxic CuInSe2 as a sensitizer for solar cells, which is employed to enhance the photovoltaic performance. Cu2GeSe3 quantum dots with various sizes are prepared by thermolysis process, which are employed for the fabrication of quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSC) according to assembly linking process. The optical absorption properties of the Cu2GeSe3 quantum dot-sensitized photo-electrodes have been obviously enhanced by the size optimization of quantum dots, which are better than that of CuInSe2-based photo-electrodes. Due to the balance on the deposition quantity and charge transfer property of the quantum dots, 3.9[Formula: see text]nm-sized Cu2GeSe3 QDSSC exhibits the highest current density value and incident photon conversion efficiency response, which result in a higher photovoltaic conversion efficiency than that of CuInSe2 QDSSC. The modulation of Cu2GeSe3 QDs will further improve the performance of photovoltaic devices.

Sensitized Solar Cells

Quasi-solid state dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) having bilayer structure were made by using nanocrystalline anatase-rutile TiO2to enhance the photovoltaic performance. The bilayer structures were coated to FTO glass using doctor blade technique with total active area of 0.4 cm2. Cyanidin dye extracted from mangosteen pericarp was used as photosensitizer. Bilayer anatase-anatase was formed with surface area of 99.9 m2/g and pore volume of 0.23 cc/g while anatase-rutile structure has surface area of 103.5 m2/g and pore volume of 0.21 cc/g. Overall energy conversion efficiencies under illumination of 10 mW/cm2of 0.461% and 0.1365% were achieved for DSSC employing anatase-anatase and anatase-rutile TiO2structure, respectively. Both efficiencies were higher than that of monolayer anatase and rutile TiO2structure whose efficiencies in the range of 0.02% to 0.037%. The photocurrent action spectra of bilayer structures performed high efficiency spectrum in the wavelength range of 420 480 nm owing to cyanidin effect of dye.
