摘要
CdSe is homogeneously deposited into nanoporous TiO2 films and used in liquid junction photoelectrochemical solar cells. The effect of the deposition parameters on the cell are studied, in particular differences between ion-by-ion and cluster deposition mechanisms. CdSe deposition on a Cd-rich US film that was deposited first into the TiO2 film, or selenization of the Cd-rich CdS layer with selenosulphate solution improves the cell parameters. Photocurrent spectral response measurements indicate photocurrent losses due to poor collection efficiencies, as shown by the strong spectral dependence on illumination intensity. Cell efficiencies up to 2.8% under solar conditions have been obtained. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
