Abstract
An in situ electrodeposition method is described to fabricate the CdS or/and CdSe quantum dot (QD) sensitized hierarchical TiO(2) sphere (HTS) electrodes for solar cell application. Intensity modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS), intensity modulated photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements are performed to investigate the electron transport and recombination of quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) based on HTS/CdS, HTS/CdSe, and HTS/CdS/CdSe photoelectrodes. This dynamic study reveals that the CdSe/CdS cosensitized solar cell performs ultrafast electron transport and high electron collection efficiency (98%). As a consequence, a power conversion efficiency as high as 4.81% (J(SC) = 18.23 mA cm(-2), V(OC) = 489 mV, FF = 0.54) for HTS/CdS/CdSe photoelectrode based QDSSC is observed under one sun AM 1.5 G illumination (100 mW cm(-2)).
