45% efficiency enhancement of ZnO nanorod bulk-heterojunction solar cells by PbS QDs

Absorption of near-infrared (NIR) photons of solar energy which includes the ~40% of the sunlight energy is an effective approach to improve the photovoltaic performance of solar cells. In the present study, we have investigated PbS quantum dots (QDs) with different numbers of synthesis cycles (n) w...
