Light conversion efficiency of flower like structure TiO2 thin film solar cells
Source abstract
Abstract
Flower like structure TiO2 thin films have been grown onto ITO coated glass substrates by sol–gel method. TiO2 nano flowers have been sensitized using CdS quantum dots prepared using simple precursors by chemical method. The assembly of CdS quantum dots with TiO2 nano flower has been used as photo-electrode in quantum dot sensitized solar cells. The surface morphology has been studied using scanning electron microscope; it shows that the film exhibits flower like structure. The absorption spectra reveals that the absorption edge of CdS quantum dot sensitized TiO2 nano flower shifts towards longer wavelength side when compared to the absorption edge of TiO2 nano flower. The efficiency of the fabricated CdS quantum dot sensitized TiO2 nano flower based solar cell is 0.66%.
