| Research Abstract |
In this study, semiconductor QDs were used as light harvesters in sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2 solar cells. The energy conversion efficiency is expected to be improved by(1) modifying and controlling the nano-interfaces in the semiconductor QDs sensitized solar cells and(2) finding the optimized experimental conditions for high efficient in semiconductor QDs. We have found that photovoltaic performances can be improved greatly by applying surface modification, ordered nanostructured TiO2 electrodes, and co-sensitization of QDs. We have succeeded in measuring the multiple exciton generation(MEG) and relaxation dynamics in PbS QDs.
