Photosensitization of TiO2 nanorods with CdS quantum dots for photovoltaic applications: A wet-chemical approach

Quantum dot sensitized solar cell: Recent advances and future perspectives in photoanode

“…5). Wang et al have synthesized single crystalline rutile TiO 2 NR structures on FTO glass by facile hydrothermal route that enabled effective sites for CdS QD deposition [82]. This TiO 2 /CdS architecture assisted in increasing visible light absorption and enhanced IPCE as high as 85%.…”

Enhanced photoelectrochemical performance of CdSe/CdS/TiO2 nanorod arrays solar cell with a PbS underlayer

“…Currently, three methods are commonly used in the QDs deposition on TiO 2 : (1) in situ growth of QDs by chemical bath deposition (CBD) or successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) [18], (2) assemble of presynthesized colloidal QDs with linker molecules [19], (3) deposition of QDs by electrochemical atomic layer epitaxy method (ECALE) [20,21]. Among these methods, the SILAR is the most widely used method due to the direct contact, high surface coverage of QDs on TiO 2 surface, and easy fabrication process.…”

Effects of variations in precursor concentration on the growth of rutile TiO2 nanorods on Si substrate with fabricated fast-response metal–semiconductor–metal UV detector

“…The remarkable optical and electronic properties of rutile TiO 2 enable its use for numerous applications, such as in dye-sensitized solar cells [4], photocatalysis [5], gas sensors [6], UV detectors [7], humidity sensor [8], photovoltaic [9,10], Light Emitting Diodes [11], photosplitting water [12]. Many conventional deposition methods have been used to prepare one-dimensional TiO 2 nanostructures, such as chemical vapor deposition [13], electrochemical deposition [14], sol-gel method [15], template synthesis [16], and chemical bath deposition (CBD) [17].…”
