Abstract

In this work, high-performance four-terminal solution-processed tandem solar cells were fabricated by using dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) as top-cells and lead sulfide (PbS) colloidal quantum dot solar cells (CQDSCs) as bottom-cells. For dye-sensitized top-cells, three different dye combinations were used while the titanium dioxide (TiO2) scattering layer was removed to maximize the transmission. For the PbS bottom-cells, quantum dots with different sizes were compared. Over 12% power conversion efficiency has been achieved by using the XL dye mixture and 890 nm PbS QDs, which shows a significant efficiency enhancement when compared to single DSSC or CQDSC subcells.
