High Efficiency Quantum Dot Heterojunction Solar Cell Using Anatase (001) TiO₂ Nanosheets

Abstract

This is the first report of using anatase TiO(2) nanosheets with exposed (001) facets in a high-efficiency PbS quantum dot/TiO(2) heterojunction solar cell. The TiO(2) nanosheets have higher conduction band, and surface energy compared to normal anatase (101) TiO(2) nanoparticles. This PbS QD/TiO(2) heterojunction solar cell produces power conversion efficiency of 4.7% which is one of the highest reported in literature.
