Extraction of Exfoliated MoS<sub>2</sub> Quantum Dots for Efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Applications
Recently, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) quantum dots (QDs) have progressed efficiently for energy applications. This report demonstrates the preparation of MoS2 QDs via a facile liquid exfoliation process. The developed QDs are thoroughly characterized and applied for energy conversion application in dye-sensitized solar cells and evidenced a high photovoltaic (PV) power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.30%. This study torches the usability of QDs for large-scale PV applications.
