Abstract EN
CdSe quantum dots (QDs) dispersed in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix with their sizes within the quantum dot regime have been synthesized via a simple heat induced thermolysis technique.
The effect of the concentrations of the cadmium source on the optical properties of CdSe/PVA thin films was investigated through UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy.
The structural analysis and particle size determination as well as morphological studies of the CdSe/PVA nanocomposite thin films were done with the help of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
The XRD analysis reveals that CdSe/PVA nanocomposite thin film has a hexagonal (wurtzite) structure.
A prototype thin film solar cell of CdSe/CdTe has been synthesized and its photovoltaic parameters were measured.
