Solution Fabrication and Photoelectrical Properties of CuInS2 Nanocrystals on TiO2 Nanorod Array
2011
One-dimensional semiconductor architectures are receiving attention in preparing photovoltaic solar cells because of its superior charge transport as well as excellent light-harvesting efficiency. In this study, vertically aligned single-crystalline TiO2 nanorods array was grown directly on transparent conductive glass (FTO), and then CuInS2 nanocrystals were deposited on nanorods array by spin coating method to form TiO2/CuInS2 heterostructure films. The resulting nanostructure assembly and composition was confirmed by field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) , transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM, and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV–vis) data indicates that the absorbance of the nanocomposite film extended into the visible region compared with bare TiO2 nanorod arrays. The surface photovoltage spectra (SPS) also showed a new and enhanced response region corresponding to the absorption spectrum. These results suggest that the novel...
