摘要
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) synthesized by a direct chemical method have been used in combination with ZnO nanowires (NWs) to demonstrate their potential as a solar harvesting material in photovoltaic cells exhibiting an open circuit voltage of 0.8 V. The excited state interaction between the photoexcited GQDs and the ZnO NWs has been verified from the charge-transfer process by both emission spectroscopy and photovoltaic measurements. This work has implications for less expensive and efficient next generation solid-state solar cells.
