Effect of architectures assembled by one dimensional ZnO nanostructures on performance of CdS quantum dot-sensitized solar cells

- ZnO pyramid arrays assembled by thin nanoswires are synthesized and its photovoltaic properties are investigated.
- Performs of the CdS QDSSCs based on the ZnO nanorod arrays, nanotube arrays, forest, and pyramid arrays are compared.
- Pyramid arrays can achieve high photoelectric performs due to its anti-reflection, high specific area and direct electron transmission channels.
