title: Microwave assisted CdSe quantum dot deposition on TiO2 films for dye-sensitized solar cells.
abstract: CdSe quantum dot (QD ) sensitized TiO(2) films have been fabricated using a one-step microwave assisted chemical bath deposition (MACBD) technique and used as photoanodes for quantum dot sensitized solar cells. This technique allows direct and rapid deposition and a good contact between the CdSe and TiO(2) films. The photovoltaic performances of the cells with CdSe deposited at different times are investigated. The results show that cells based on MACBD deposited TiO(2)/CdSe electrodes achieve a maximum short circuit current density of 12.1 mA cm(-2) and a power conversion efficiency of 1.75% at one Sun (AM 1.5 G, 100 mW cm(-2)), which is comparable with those fabricated using conventional techniques.
