Abstract

Mn<sup>2+</sup>&amp;Co<sup>2+</sup> co-doped CdTe QDs were successfully synthesized <italic>via</italic> aqueous phase method with mercaptopropanoic acid, which could generate different doping energy levels, and as sensitizers applied for QDSCs, showing a significantly enhanced efficiency.
