Abstract

We were able to attach CdSe quantum dots (QDs) having a ZnS inorganic glue layer directly to a mesoporous TiO₂ (mp-TiO₂) surface by spray coating and thermal annealing. Quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells based on CdSe QDs having ZnS as the inorganic glue layer could easily transport generated charge carriers because of the intimate bonding between CdSe and mp-TiO₂. The application of spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD) to obtain additional CdSe layers improved the performance characteristics to V _oc = 0.45 V, J_sc = 10.7 mA/cm², fill factor = 35.8%, and power conversion efficiency = 1.7%. Furthermore, ZnS post-treatment improved the device performance to V_oc = 0.57 V, J_sc = 11.2 mA/cm², fill factor = 35.4%, and power conversion efficiency = 2.2%.
