Abstract
Simply by elevating the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction temperature for ZnS deposition, we successfully demonstrated improved photostability of PbS-based quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) which was credited to efficient surface coverage of ZnS over PbS QDs and TiO2. Using open-circuit voltage decay and cyclic voltammetry techniques distinctly, it was affirmed that the back electron transfer at TiO2/PbS/electrolyte interface was reduced. Superior deposition of ZnS in terms of surface coverage not only exhibited increase in photocurrent density (from 20.7 mA/cm2 to 22.3 mA/cm2) and power conversion efficiency (from 3.1% to 3.4%), it also stabilized the normalized current significantly.
