Synthesis of Cdse and Znse Nanoparticles Functionalized Mcm-41 Mesoporous Materials for Dye Sensitized Solar Cell

Author(s) Dr. CELINE ROSE I R

Abstract Mo-MCM-41, CdSe-MCM-41 and ZnSe-MCM-41 materials were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The synthesized materials were characterized by XRD, IR, SEM and N2 adsorption – desorption isotherm. The efficiency of the materials was evaluated for photovoltaic performance. The powder X-ray diffraction revealed that the synthesized Mo-MCM-41, CdSe-Mo-MCM-41, ZnSe-Mo-MCM-41 mesoporous materials are hexagonal structure. Incorporation of Mo, CdSe and ZnSe into the framework decreases, the intensity of diffraction peaks, due to disordering of the mesoporous material. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, a typical type III, IV and V isotherm was observed and due to capillary condensation in the mesopores. The surface area, pore size and pore volume were found to increase in CdSe and ZnSe functionalized MCM-41 materials. SEM images showed well-defined morphology in CdSe-Mo-MCM-41 and ZnSe-Mo-MCM-41. The fabrication of solar cell was carried out by Doctor Blade technique. Mesoporous materials such as Mo-MCM-41, CdSe-Mo-MCM-41 and ZnSe-Mo-MCM-41 were used as surface smoothing material in the fabrication of the counter electrode, to improve the life time of the counter electrode and it was found that efficiency of the mesoporous materials increases in the order Mo-MCM-41 ˂ ZnSe-Mo-MCM-41 ˂ CdSe-Mo-MCM-41.
