This essay employed the "successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR)"technology to form PbSe/CdSe core/shell.We use the Pbse/CdSe core/shell replaced PbSe nanocrystals and obtained one new quantum dot solar cells of the inorganic.This new solar cells constituted by the metal oxide films retain the photoelectric conversion efficiency of quantum dot solar cells.At the same time,the stability of the new solar cells is tremendously improved with the oxidation resistance of inorganic oxide.Finally,when Jsc=25.2mA/cm2and Voc=0.36V ,we can conclude the conversion efficiency of the solar cell can be evaluated as 3.929%.

Cu-doped-CdS and In-doped-CdS cosensitized (Cu-doped-CdS/In-doped-CdS) quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs) are introduced here. Different cosensitized sequences, doping ratios, and the thickness (SILAR cycles) of Cu-doped-CdS and In-doped-CdS are discussed. Compared with undoped CdS QDSCs, the short circuit current density, UV-Vis absorption spectra, IPCE (monochromatic incident photon-to-electron conversion), open circuit voltage, and so on are all improved. The photoelectric conversion efficiency has obviously improved from 0.71% to 1.28%.

Sensitized Solar Cells

Quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) have received extensive attention in recent years due to their higher theoretical conversion efficiency and lower production costs. However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of QDSSCs is still lower than the DSSCs because of the severe recombination of electrons of quantum dots conduction band. In order to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of QDSSCs, impurity element Mn2+is doped into the precursor solution of cadmium sulfide (CdS). By optimizing the experimental parameters, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of QDSSCs can be greatly improved. For the deposition of a fixed number of six times, the photoelectric conversion efficiency shows the maximum value (1.51%) at the doped ratio of 1 : 10.

Difference Time

The effect of grating structure on the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells is studied with the finite-difference time-domain method. The influence of grating shape, height and the thickness of coated metal film is analysed. It is found that the variation of grating shape and height makes great changes of energy storage, especially of the photoelectric conversion efficiency and energy storage of the triangle grating. The comparison between un-optimized and optimized surface grating structure on solar cells shows that the optimized grating surface significantly increases the energy storage capability and greatly improves the efficiency.

Doping Ratio

We use the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method for the preparation of quantum dot sensitized solar cells, to improve the performance of solar cells by doping quantum dots. We tested the UV-Vis absorption spectrum of undoped CdS QDSCs and Cu doped CdS QDSCs with different doping ratios. The doping ratios of copper were 1 : 100, 1 : 500, and 1 : 1000, respectively. The experimental results show that, under the same SILAR cycle number, Cu doped CdS quantum dot sensitized solar cells have higher open circuit voltage, short circuit current density photoelectric conversion efficiency than undoped CdS quantum dots sensitized solar cells. Refinement of Cu doping ratio are 1 : 10, 1 : 100, 1 : 200, 1 : 500, and 1 : 1000. When the proportion of Cu and CdS is 1 : 10, all the parameters of the QDSCs reach the minimum value, and, with the decrease of the proportion, the short circuit current density, open circuit voltage, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency are all increased. When proportion is 1 : 500, all parameters reach the maximum values. While with further reduction of the doping ratio of Cu, the parameters of QDSCs have a decline tendency. The results showed that, in a certain range, the lower the doping ratio of Cu, the better the performance of quantum dot sensitized solar cell.

TiO2 films with three-dimensional web-like structure have been prepared by the photo polymerization-induced phase separation method (PIPS). Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the as-prepared TiO2 films. The results showed that the film texture could be tuned by changing the composition of the precursor solution. The TiO2 film with web-like structure exhibited high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye. The as-prepared films were used as the photo-anodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the DSCs was significantly enhanced by changing the POGTA/TTB in the precursor solution. Because of the increased dye adsorption active sites and efficient electron transport in the TiO2 anode film, a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 3.015% was obtained.
