Abstract

Enhanced photoelectrochemical cell performance of nanocrystalline CdS-water-soluble conjugated-polymer sensitizers was demonstrated. The water-soluble polymers with quaternary pyridinium salts can be easily layered after dipping nanocrystalline CdS films in the aqueous polymer solution. The 2.37% energy conversion efficiency of CdS-poly(2-ethynyl- N - carboxypropylpyridiniumbromide) (LM 3) conjugated-polymer sensitizer was significantly higher than that of the bare (0.57%) and CdS-poly(2-ethynyl- N -aminopropylpyridiniumbromide) (LM 2) conjugated-polymer sensitizer (2.15%) under AM1.5 condition (80 mW cm2).
