ZnO based quantum dot sensitized solar cell using CdS quantum dots

Neetu Singh, R. M. Mehra, Avinashi Kapoor, and T. Soga This paper reports the fabrication of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) based quantum dot sensitized solar cell using Cadmium Sulphide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs) capped by poly vinyl alcohol (PVA). Chemical route was used to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) as well as CdS QDs. The crystallite size of ZnO NPs was obt ... [J.
