摘要: The photoanode obtained by the deposition of MnxCdySe nanocrystals onto TiO2 nanotube arrays using a successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction technique realized significant improvement in charge transport current generation compared with pristine based anode. concentration manganese was determined to be 10% cadmium, thus x = 0.1y. widening absorption spectra magnitude photocurrent density were found significantly affected variation number SILAR cycles annealing temperature. A stable ∼8 mA cm−2 under AM 1.5 illumination (1 sun) achieved for nanocrystals-embedded heterostructure photoelectrodes prepared through 9 deposition, followed at 400 °C nitrogen atmosphere. results suggest versatility MnxCdySe-sensitized matrix as an efficient electrode photovoltaic applications.
