摘要
In order to absorb a broad spectrum in visible region, a co-sensitized TiO2 electrode was prepared by CdSe and Mg-doped CdSe quantum dots (Q dots). The power conversion efficiency of the co-sensitized Q dots photoelectrochemical solar cells (PECs) showed 1.03% under air mass 1.5 condition (I = 100 mW/cm(2)), which is higher than that of individual Q dots-sensitized PECs. The incident-photon-to-current conversion efficiency of the co-sensitized PECs showed absorption peaks at 541 and 578 nm corresponding to the two Q dots and displayed a broad spectral response over the entire visible spectrum in the 500600 nm wavelength domains.
