Application of ZnO Nanostructure by Hydrothermal Growth in Quantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells

Abstract:

In this paper, we mainly talk about two kinds of ZnO nanostructure materials which are rod and flower structure by hydrothermal growth as photoanode of quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). Using chemical bath deposition to assemble CdS quantum dots onto ZnO nanostructure materials, and after different CBD cycles we could get the cell parameters of different CBD cycles respectively in their I-V curves, from which we could see it is the flower structure that has the highest efficiency which is 0.346% after 9 CBD cycles and the short-circuit current is 2.88 mA/cm². Therefore, we could see that ZnO flower structure has a potential application in solar cell devices as the photoelectrode to gain higher photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE).
