초록

본 총설은 다공성의 메조포러스 이산화티타늄 박막을 기반으로 하는 양자점-감응 태양 전지의 최근 발전 과정에 대해 정리하였다. 나노스케일의 무기물 양자점이 가지는 본질적 특성에 기반하고 다양한 양자점 구성 물질을 이용하여, 용액-공정 기반의 다양한 3세대 박막 태양전지를 만들 수 있었다. 양자점 감응제는 준비하는 방법에 따라 크게 2가지로 나눌 수 있는데, 첫 번째는 콜로이드 형태로 용액상에서 준비한 다음 $TiO_2$ 표면에 붙이는 것이고 두 번째는 양자점 전구체가 녹아있는 화학조를 이용하여 직접 $TiO_2$ 표면에 성장시키는 것이다. 폴리썰파이드 전해질을 사용하여, 콜로이드 양자점 감응제의 경우는 최근 들어 정밀한 조성 조절을 통하여 전체 광전 변환효율이 ~7%에 이르렀고 화학조 침전법을 이용하여 준비된 대표적 감응제인 CdS/CdSe는 ~5%의 효율을 보이고 있다. 앞으로는 지금까지 보고된 양자점 감응제의 뛰어난 광전류 생성 능력을 유지하면서, 새로운 정공 전달체의 개발 및 계면 조절을 통한 개방 전압과 채움 상수의 개선을 통한 효율 증가 및 안정성에 관한 체계적 연구가 필요한 상황이다.

This review article summarizes the recent progress of quantum dot (QD)-sensitized solar cells based on mesoporous $TiO_2$ thin films. From the intrinsic characteristics of nanoscale inorganic QDs with various compositions, it was possible to construct a variety of 3rd-generation thin film solar cells by solution process. Depending on preparation methods, colloidal QD sensitizers are pre-prepared for later deposition onto the surface of $TiO_2$ or in-situ deposition of QDs from chemical bath is done for direct growth of QD sensitizers over substrates. Recently, colloidal QD sensitizers have shown an overall power conversion efficiency of ~7% by a very precise control of composition while a representative CdS/CdSe from chemical bath deposition have done ~5% with polysulfide electrolytes. In the near future, it is necessary to carry out systematic investigations for developing new hole-conducting materials and controlling interfaces within the cell, thus leading to an enhancement of both open-circuit voltage and fill factor while keeping the current high value of photocurrents from QDs towards more efficient and stable QD-sensitized solar cells.
