Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are considered to represent low-cost alternatives to conventional inorganic devices. The use of inorganic semiconductors as sensitizer in place of a dye in DSSCs offers several advantages: excellent optical properties, which can be tuned by controlling the semiconductor dimensions, a high extinction coefficient, and a large intrinsic dipole moment. Thus, semiconductor nanocrystal-sensitized solar cells bring new hopes to make a breakthrough for the next-generation solar devices. In this presentation, an overview of inorganic semiconductor (including quantum dots)-sensitized solar cells and their recent progress aiming for next-generation solar cells will be discussed, mainly based on recent results obtained in our laboratory. |
