摘要: A heterojunction between a layer of CZTS nanoparticles and fullerene derivatives forms pn-junction. We have used such an inorganic–organic hybrid pn-junction device for solar cell applications. As routes to optimize performance, interdot separation has been reduced by replacing long-chain ligands the quantum dots with short-chain thickness varied. shown that CZTS–fullerene interface could dissociate photogenerated excitons due depletion region formed at From capacitance–voltage characteristics, we determined width region, compared it parameters devices based on components heterojunction. The results demonstrate applications nontoxic earth-abundant materials.
