Abstract

20 nm ZnO nanoparticles are used to fabricate the mesoporous photoanode of the CdS/CdSe quantum dot-sensitized solar cells by the simple doctor blade method. A maximum power conversion efficiency of 4.46% has been achieved, which indicated exciting prospects for ZnO nanoparticle based quantum dot-sensitized solar cells.
