Synthesis and photovoltaic application of copper(I) sulfide nanocrystals.
We present the rational synthesis of colloidal copper(I) sulfide nanocrystals and demonstrate their application as an active light absorbing component in combination with CdS nanorods to make a solution-processed solar cell with 1.6% power conversion efficiency on both conventional glass substrates and flexible plastic substrates with stability over a 4 month testing period.
