Sensitized-type solar cells based on TiO2 photoanodes and CdS quantum dots (QDs) as sensitizers have been studied. Cds QDs are grown on TiO2 films, utilizing one-step microwave assisted chemical bath deposition (MACBD) method. This method allows a facile and rapid deposition and integration between CdS QDs and TiO2 films. The photovoltaic performances of the cells fabricated using CdS precursor solutions with different concentrations are investigated. The results show that the cell based on MACBD deposited TiO2/CdS electrode achieves a maximum short circuit current density of 7.20 mAcm(-2) and power conversion efficiency of 1.18 % at one sun (AM 1.5G, 100 mW cm(-2)), which is comparable to the ones prepared using conventional techniques.
