摘要
The power conversion efficiency of a dye-sensitized solar cell with tailored squaraine dye enhanced by 47%, due to Forster resonance energy transfer from CdSe quantum dots to the squaraine dye. The incident photons to collection efficiency of electrons indicate panchromatic response from the visible to the near-infrared spectrum.
