摘要
In this paper, we reported an investigation on a new photoelectrode of quantum dots-sensitized solar cell (QDSC) combining indium-tin-oxide (ITO) mesoporous film and CdS quantum dots (QDs). The ITO mesoporous film was prepared by doctor-blade technique and CdS QDs attached on ITO mesoporous film were synthesized by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method. X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, X-ray spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy were used to characterize the samples. The results indicated that the ITO mesoporous film was uniform, crack-free and highly porous. And absorbance in visible region was enhanced after the deposition of CdS QDs on ITO mesoporous film. The photoelectrochemical property of the CdS QDs-sensitized ITO mesoporous film photoelectrode was investigated by forming a photoelectrochemical cell. Photocurrent-voltage measurement showed that the photoelectrode was efficient in the cell as working electrode. (C) 2011 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
