Highly Stable Interdigitated PbS Quantum Dot and ZnO Nanowire Solar Cells with an Automatically Embedded Electron-Blocking Layer

Haibin Wang et al.

Summary: The heterojunction iodide ligand PbS quantum dot (QD) and ZnO nanowire (NW) solar cells demonstrate high charge separation efficiency, high external quantum efficiency in visible and infrared regions, and stability performance even after 500 days of storage without encapsulation. The PbS QD capping layer acts as an effective electron-blocking layer (EBL), contributing to the overall performance of the solar cells. The interdigitated architecture concept presents a promising strategy for achieving highly efficient and stable colloidal QD-based solar cells, with potential extensions to various organic and inorganic hybrid solar cells.
