Abstract

Quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) based on TiO₂ film photoanode incorporated with different amounts of graphene are fabricated and their photovoltaic performances are investigated. The results show that the CdS QDSSC incorporating 0.8 wt.% graphene in TiO₂ photoanode demonstrates a maximum power conversion efficiency of 1.44%, 56% higher than that without graphene. The performance improvement is ascribed to the increased CdS adsorption, the reduction of electron recombination and back-transport reaction as well as the enhancement of electron transport with the introduction of graphene.
