SDS Capped CdTe QDs Binary Mixture for Dye-sensitized Solar Cell Applications

The creation of Semiconductor Quantum Dots (QDs) utilizing the pulsed Laser ablation approach from a solid target in a liquid media is simple, rapid, and has a lower environmental effect than other methods. The synthesis of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) capped Cadmium telluride (CdTe) The morphological and optical characteristics of the prepared CdTe QDs were investigated by X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectra, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy; and transmission electron microscopy. QDs ranging in size from 3 nm to 12 nm were seen to develop. The log normal distribution is used to describe the distribution of particle diameter. The short-circuit current density rose by 20% in the dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) with and without SDS capped CdTe QDs. and the solar cell efficiency augmented from 0.58 to 1.10%.
