研究目的
Exploring the use of 2D molybdenum di-sulphide as a nanohybrid with CuS as a counter electrode in quantum dot sensitized solar cells to enhance current density and open circuit voltage.
研究成果
The incorporation of 2D MoS2 into CuS lattice as a counter electrode material significantly improves the efficiency of quantum dot sensitized solar cells due to synergistic effects, favorable band alignment, and enhanced charge transfer kinetics.
研究不足
The study focuses on the performance enhancement of quantum dot sensitized solar cells using a specific nanohybrid counter electrode, but the scalability and long-term stability under various environmental conditions are not extensively discussed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a hydrothermal method for synthesizing MoS2 and a pulverisation technique for preparing CuS-MoS2 nanohybrid. SILAR technique is used for sensitization of photoanodes.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
