CdSe nanocrystal sensitized ZnO core-shell nanorod array films: Preparation and photovoltaic properties
چکیده انگلیسی

ZnO/CdSe core-shell nanorod array films were synthesized via a two-step method. ZnO nanorod array films were first grown on a TCO substrate, and then CdSe nanocrystals were deposited on the nanorods to form core-shell structured films. The resulting films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy. Especially, dark-field images and transmission electron diffraction of the TEM were used to study the morphology and the chemical nanostructure of the ZnO/CdSe core-shell nanorods in detail. We investigated the photovoltaic performance of the resulting ZnO/CdSe core-shell nanorod array films as solar cell photoanodes. Parameters, such as the length of the ZnO nanorods, the shell phase structure and the deposition time of the CdSe nanocrystals were found to affect the photovoltaic performance of the solar cell. This study provides a facile method to prepare nanocomposite photoanodes of solar cells, and gives some insight about the fundamental mechanisms that improve the performance.
