Abstract

The photovoltaic performance of quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) based on mesoscopic TiO2 spheres. A series of CdS/CdSe/ZnS co-sensitized TiO2 photoanodes for QDSSCs were prepared by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) processes. The growth of CdS, CdSe and ZnS layers were monitored by taking UV–Visible absorption spectra and the SILAR cycles of CdS, CdSe and ZnS show different impact on the performance of QDSSCs. With the deposition times of CdS, CdSe changing (from 1 to 5 cycles), the parameters of the device is changed. In addition to determine the quality of QDSSCs, we used modern physical methods to calculate the dynamic resistance values as RS, RSH, Rd, RD. The effect of SILAR cycles on the dynamic resistance was discussed detail.
