| Popis: | Room temperature Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction technique was efficiently used to sensitize PbS on ZrO 2 for device grade application. The chemical approach used in present study to lower down the development cost. UV–Vis study of PbS sensitized ZrO 2 showed good optical coverage over the visible region. Finally, the device fabrication was done for PbS sensitized ZrO 2 as photoanode, polysulphide as electrolyte and MoO 3 as a counter electrode. The effect of surface passivation (ZnS) over PbS is also examined. Surface passivated ZrO 2 /PbS device shows the improvement in efficiency of 1.53% which is ∼3 times higher than ZrO 2 /PbS (0.55%). |
