A general chemical approach was used to synthesise NiO-CdS core-shell nanoparticle films as photocathodes for p-type semiconductor- sensitized solar cells. Compared to dye-sensitized NiO photocathodes, the CdS-sensitized NiO cathodes exhibited two orders of magnitude faster hole transport (attributable to the passivation of surface traps by the CdS) and almost 100% charge-collection efficiencies.
