Enhanced transient photovoltaic characteristics of core–shell ZnSe/ZnS/L-Cys quantum-dot-sensitized TiO2 thin-film Project supported by the Natural Science Foundation of Hebei Province, China (Grant Nos. E2013203296 and E2017203029). |
(color online) FT-IR absorption spectra of pure L-Cys, self-assembled core–shell ZnSe/ZnS/L-Cys QDs, mesoporous La-doped nano-TiO2 thin film, and ZnSe QD-sensitized nano-TiO2 thin film. Inset (a) shows the cross-section of TiO2 thin film before and after sensitizing. Inset (b) illustrates a possible pattern of molecular linking at the phase interface of the core–shell ZnSe/ZnS/L-Cys QDs and TiO2 thin film.[ |
