ZnS/SiO₂ Passivation Layer for High-Performance of TiO₂/CuInS₂ Quantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells
September 19, 2018
Suppressing the charge recombination at the interface of photoanode/electrolyte is the crucial way to improve the quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) performance. In this scenario, ZnS/SiO₂ blocking layer was deposited on TiO₂/CuInS₂ QDs to inhibit the charge recombination at photoanode/electrolyte interface. As a result, the TiO₂/CuInS₂/ZnS/SiO₂ based QDSSCs delivers a power conversion efficiency (η) value of 4.63%, which is much higher than the TiO₂/CuInS₂ (2.15%) and TiO₂/CuInS₂/ZnS (3.23%) based QDSSCs. Impedance spectroscopy and open circuit voltage decay analyses indicate that ZnS/SiO₂ passivation layer on TiO₂/CuInS₂ suppress the charge recombination at the interface of photoanode/electrolyte and enhance the electron lifetime.
