Abstract |
Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) with molecule-like behavior have emerged as a new light harvester in solar energy conversion systems. Despite several important strides made recently, efforts toward the utilization of NCs as a light harvester have been primarily restricted to proving their potency and feasibility. A complete characterization of metal cluster-sensitized solar cells (MCSSCs) is still lacking, and hence comprehensive understanding of the interfacial events and limiting factors that dictate their performance remains elusive. In this presentation, the investigation on the effect of the size of the Au NCs and electrolytes on the performance of MCSSCs is presented and their implication in MCSSCs is discussed. |
