    摘要: CdSe-quantum dots are formed on a TiO2 patterned layer by chemical deposition from a solution of aminotriacetic acid/cadmium (NTA/Cd) and sodium selenosulfate. CdSe-quantum dots are useful as sensitizers for solar cells. The conversion efficiency of light of light power to electric power is enhanced by adjusting the ratio of potassium aminotriacetate to cadmium (NTA/Cd) as well as the chemical bath deposition (CBD) temperature and time.

An illustrative method for manufacturing a solar cell may include dissolving a cadmium-containing compound in a first non-aqueous solvent to form a cadmium precursor solution, dissolving a selenium-containing compound in a second non-aqueous solvent to form a selenium precursor solution, combining the cadmium precursor solution with the selenium precursor solution to form a mixed solution, and exposing an electron conductor film to the mixed solution. Exposing the electron conductor film to the mixed solution may cause a cadmium and selenium quantum dot layer to be provided on the electron conductor film. This is just one example method.

    摘要: A three-dimensionally ordered macroporous sensor apparatus and method of forming the same. A direct opal film associated with a number of pores can be formed by vertical deposition of one or more nanospheres on a glass substrate. The thickness of the direct opal film can be controlled by concentration of the nanospheres. A mixture of a precursor/monomer of a sensing material and a complexing agent can be filled into the pores associated with the direct opal film, such that the mixture permeates the interstitial spaces between the pores. The nanospheres may then be removed in order to form a three dimensionally-ordered macroporous electrode with an inverse opal structure. Optionally, the sensing material can be coated on an inverse opal backbone structure formed from an external inactive material and utilizing a coating operation.
