Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This study delves into the synthesis and characterization of Ag:CdTe quantum dots coated with CdS and ZnS shells, focusing on their structural and optoelectronic properties. The research highlights the impact of these coatings on the photovoltaic performance of quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). Key findings include the enhanced power conversion efficiency of Ag:CdTe/CdS QDSSCs, which reached 3.27%, significantly higher than the 1.17% efficiency of undoped CdTe QDSSCs. The study also explores the mechanisms behind these improvements, such as the formation of quasi-Type-II and Type-I band alignments, which contribute to better charge separation and reduced recombination losses. Additionally, the research provides insights into the synthesis methods and the structural evolution of the quantum dots, offering a comprehensive understanding of their potential in advancing photovoltaic technologies.
