Copper ion doped ZnS quantum dots have been synthesized and introduced as sensitizer in solar cells. The quantum dots, synthesized using simple chemical method, has been characterized by using UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy, X-Rray Diffraction spectroscopy, and Trans-Electron Microscopy to study the influence of different concentrations of Copper ion doping on quantum dots. The successful doping is confirmed using Energy Dispersive X-Ray spectroscopic study. The Current density – voltage characteristics of the fabricated solar cells are studied and the photovoltaic parameters are compared for each cell. Better performance in terms of photo-conversion efficiency has been obtained for Cu ion doped ZnS quantum dot sensitized solar cells.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
