Microwave Assisted Aqueous Synthesis Of Core-Shell Cdsexte1-X-Cds Quantum Dots For High Performance Sensitized Solar Cells

A facile microwave assisted aqueous method has been developed to rapidly prepare stable CdSexTe1-x-CdS quantum dots. Based on this material, core-shell type II CdSexTe1-x-CdS quantum dot sensitized solar cells have been assembled and a power conversion efficiency as high as 5.04% has been obtained.
