A polysulfide liquid electrolyte is developed for the application in CdSe quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). A solvent consisting of ethanol and water in the ratio of 8 : 2 by volume has been found as the optimum solvent for preparing the liquid electrolytes. This solvent ratio appears to give higher cell efficiency compared to pure ethanol or water as a solvent. Na2S and S give rise to a good redox couple in the electrolyte for QDSSC operation, and the optimum concentrations required are 0.5 M and 0.1 M, respectively. Addition of guanidine thiocyanate (GuSCN) to the electrolyte further enhances the performance. The QDSSC with CdSe sensitized electrode prepared using 7 cycles of successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) produces an efficiency of 1.41% with a fill factor of 44% on using a polysulfide electrolyte of 0.5 M Na2S, 0.1 M S, and 0.05 M GuSCN in ethanol/water (8 : 2 by volume) under the illumination of 100 mW/cm2white light. Inclusion of small amount of TiO2nanoparticles into the electrolyte helps to stabilize the polysulfide electrolyte and thereby improve the stability of the CdSe QDSSC. The CdSe QDs are also found to be stable in the optimized polysulfide liquid electrolyte.

Different size of colloidal CdSe quantum dot (QD) was synthesized through a simple solvothermal route and their structural, morphological and optical properties were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectrometer. XRD and TEM measurement confirmed the formation of CdSe QDs. The red shift of absorption and fluorescence peaks indicated that the size of CdSe QDs increased with prolonging reaction time. The size of QDs varied from 2.2 nm to 3.4 nm by varying reaction time from 1 h to 7 h. The absorption spectra of CdSe/TiO2 electrodes proved that the loading of CdSe QDs on TiO2 can be greatly improved by MPA pretreatment. The effect of size of CdSe QDs on the performance of CdSe QDs sensitized solar cells was investigated. Due to the change of absorption range in the visible region and the conduction band shift for different size of CdSe, the photo-electric power conversion efficiency first increased and then decreased with increasing size of CdSe. The devices fabricated with 3.1 nm diameter CdSe nanoparticles exhibited the highest conversion efficiency of 0.70% under AM 1.5 G irradiation (100 mW cm−2).
