Synthesis and Photovoltaic Application of Coper (I) Sulfide Nanocrystals

Abstract

We present the rational synthesis of colloidal copper(I) sulfide nanocrystals and demonstrate their application as an active light absorbing component in combination with CdS nanorods to make a solution-processed solar cell with 1.6 percent power conversion efficiency on both conventional glass substrates and flexible plastic substrates with stability over a 4 month testing period.
