Constructing heterojunction is one of the methods for improving the photocatalytic activity by restraining the electron-hole recombination. In this work, a simple cation-exchange approach was employed to grow amorphous MoS x (a-MoS x ) on PbS surface to fabricate PbS/a-MoS x heterojunction for the first time. The formation of a-MoS x has been confirmed by XRD, Raman, TEM, EDS and XPS analysis . PbS/a-MoS x composites showed improved light harvesting ability compared with pristine PbS. The optimized composite exhibited greatly enhanced photocatalytic activity using methylene blue as the target of elimination, and displayed a photocurrent about 9 times higher than pristine PbS due to the efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.

A novel two-phase method was employed to directly deposit PbS quantum dots (QDs) on nanocrystalline SnO 2 thin films. In the two-phase method, the nanocrystalline SnO 2 thin film with adsorption of Pb 2+ ions was placed in an aqueous solution, and S 2− ions were dissolved in an oil solution. As two solutions were contacted, S 2− ions prefer to transfer to the aqueous solution and diffuse to the thin film surface with the adsorbed Pb 2+ ions to homogeneously form monodispersed PbS QDs on the nanocrystalline thin film. The homogeneous monodispersed QDs-sensitized thin film was used as a photoelectrode to fabricate QDs-sensitized solar cell. The loaded amount of PbS QDs and the thickness of ZnS passivation layer were optimized to obtain the highest light-to-electric conversion efficiency of 1.01 % under the simulated AM 1.5 illumination, which is increased by 61 % compared with that of the PbS QDs-sensitized solar cell employing the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). The solar cell with homogeneous sensitization of QDs generates a photocurrent density of 11.09 mA·cm −2 , which is 2.4 times higher than that of the unhomogeneous one prepared by SILAR. The conversion efficiency enhancement mechanism due to the two-phase method was discussed in detail through the measurements of intensity-modulated photovoltage spectrum and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Infrared solar cells (IRSCs) can supplement silicon or perovskite SCs to broaden the utilization of the solar spectrum. As an ideal infrared photovoltaic material, PbS colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) with tunable bandgaps can make good use of solar energy, especially the infrared region. However, as the QD size increases, the energy level shrinking and surface facet evolution makes us reconsider the matching charge extraction contacts and the QD passivation strategy. Herein, different to the traditional sol-gel ZnO layer, energy-level aligned ZnO thin film from a magnetron sputtering method is adopted for electron extraction. In addition, a modified hybrid ligand recipe is developed for the facet passivation of large size QDs. As a result, the champion IRSC delivers an open circuit voltage of 0.49 V and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.47% under AM1.5 full-spectrum illumination, and the certified PCE is over 10%. Especially the 1100 nm filtered efficiency achieves 1.23%. The obtained devices also show high storage stability. The present matched electron extraction and QD passivation strategies are expected to highly booster the IR conversion yield and promote the fast development of new conception QD optoelectronics.

TiO 2 film materials have very wide applications in photovoltaic conversion techniques. And, TiO 2 nanotubes array film with nanowires directly formed on top (denoted as TiO 2 NTWs) was prepared by the anodization method. CdS and PbS quantum dots (QDs) were firstly cosensitized on the TiO 2 NTWs array (denoted as (CdS + PbS)/TiO 2 NTWs) by novel successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (N-SILAR), which only needed a cation mixed solution containing Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ and an anionic solution containing S 2− . This N-SILAR method can not only effectively shorten the experimental time, simplify the experiment procedure and reduce the experiment cost, but also make the material of (CdS + PbS)/TiO 2 NTWs possess the advantages of improving electron transport and reducing chemical erosion. Moreover, the photocurrent of (CdS + PbS)/TiO 2 NTWs was 4.1 mA/cm 2 under an illumination of 100 mW/cm 2 . The most eye-popping part was that the result was 8 times higher than that of the bare TiO 2 NTWs array. The result of photoelectrochemical measurements indicated that this novel material had a potential application in photovoltaic devices.

A new liquid–liquid system, employing dimethyl sulfoxide and the mixture of oleyl amine and oleic acid as separate solvents, inorganic lead salt as lead source, and sulfide as sulfur source has been developed to synthesize PbS nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution. The process can be conducted under mild conditions. The obtained PbS nanoparticles exhibit high crystallinity and uniformity. The initial Pb/S molar ratio of precursor has great effect on the particle size and optical properties of product. Larger proportion of sulfur precursor, which results in the larger particle size, is more likely to restraint crystal nucleation, rather than promote crystal growth.

With extremely high optical absorption coefficient in infrared regime, lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dots (QDs)-based photodetectors are promising for diverse applications. In recent years, synthesis of materials has made great progress, but the problem of low sensitivity of quantum dots photodetector still unresolved. In this work, the introduction of a tunneling organic layer effectively address this problem. The dark current is decreased by the appropriate thickness of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) barrier layer by suppressing the spontaneous migration of ions, and the photogenerated carriers are little effected, thereby the responsivity of the device is improved. As a result, the device exhibits a high responsivity of 3.73 × 105 mA W−1 and a giant specific detectivity of 4.01 × 1013 Jones at a low voltage of −1 V under 1064 nm illumination. In the self-powered mode, the responsivity reaches a value of 157.6 mA W−1, and the detectivity up to 5.9 × 1011 Jones. The performance of the photodetectors is obviously better than most of the reported QDs photodetectors. The design of this device structure provides a new solution to the problem of low sensitivity and high leakage current of quantum dots based infrared photodetectors.

Infrared lead chalcogenide quantum dots (QDs) suffer fast degradation due to the easy oxidation of surface chalcogen atoms. Here, we report a trioctylphosphine-mediated surface passivation method to improve the air stability of PbS QDs. Surface mechanism study reveals an in situ surface reaction, which leads to site-selective passivation of surface S atoms with lead mono-carboxylate. The surface capping motif sufficiently protects PbS QDs from oxygen and improves their stability as well as quantum efficiency regardless of the QD size and original ligands on surface cations. The modified PbS QDs display no obvious fluorescence quenching and surface oxidization after 30 days of air exposure. The robust surface capping also provides high compatibility of PbS QDs with polymers for optoelectronic device fabrication. The near-infrared LEDs based on the modified PbS QDs display a slight degradation of only 1.47% from the maximum intensity after continuous operation in air for 250 hours (lifetime > 10,000 h) at 0.5 W/cm 2 power density, indicating the surface passivation route is promising strategy for promoting practical optoelectronic application of PbS QDs.

The advantage of 2D-2D heterojunction over 2D-0D and 2D-1D heterojunction is that it has larger interface area, which results in the shorter migration distance of photo-induced charge carriers, and can therefore separate the electron-hole pairs more effectively. In this work, to form 2D-2D heterojunction , PbS nanosheets were grown in situ on 2D MoS 2 layers via. solvothermal process. The formation of 2D MoS 2 -2D PbS composites has been confirmed by XRD , Raman, TEM , and EDS analysis . The area of PbS nanosheets attached on MoS 2 can be controlled by changing the concentration of PbS precursor in reaction solution. Compared with pristine MoS 2 , MoS 2 -PbS composites showed improved light absorption property and enhanced photocatalytic ability using methylene blue as the target of degradation. The optimized composite displayed a photocurrent 5 times higher than that of pristine MoS 2 .

We developed novel hybrid ligands to passivate PbS colloidal quantum dots (CQDs), and two kinds of solar cells based on as-synthesized CQDs were fabricated to verify the passivation effects of the ligands. It was found that the ligands strongly affected the optical and electrical properties of CQDs, and the performances of solar cells were enhanced strongly. The optimized hybrid ligands, oleic amine/octyl-phosphine acid/CdCl 2 improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) to much higher of 3.72 % for Schottky diode cell and 5.04 % for p–n junction cell. These results may be beneficial to design passivation strategy for low-cost and high-performance CQDs solar cells.

The III-V group colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have been successfully synthesized with stable and low-cost chemical reagents recently, but they are rarely used for solid state solar cells due to the poor charge carrier transfer in solid films. In this work, the surface of InZnP (Zn doped InP) CQDs has been reconstructed with PbS via a chemical engineering strategy. Comparing with InZnP CQDs, the long carbon chain ligands capped on the InZnP@PbS CQDs surface can be easily exchanged with small molecules. By capping the mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) onto the InZnP@PbS CQDs surface, the electrical coupling between the InZnP@PbS CQDs has been established, and the photoinduced charge carrier transfer has been significantly enhanced. Based on the above CQDs, solid state solar cell devices are assembled, achieving about 1.5% of power conversion efficiency (PCE). The photoelectric performances of the fabricated solar cells almost do not decay after 150 days storage. Current work may provide a new way for III-V group CQDs application in solution-processed optoelectronics .

The development of multi-component photothermal agents has attracted increasing attention due to their potential applications in energy conversion, medical treatments, etc. Herein, a dumbbell shaped PbS–Te heterostructure was prepared via a one-pot microwave-assisted decomposition of lead dimethyl dithiocarbamate and tellurium diethyl dithiocarbamate. The as-obtained PbS–Te hybrids exhibit excellent photothermal stability and strong optical absorption over a broad wavelength range spanning from ultraviolet to near-infrared, where the photothermal conversion efficiency could reach as high as 12.1%. Such promising photothermal performance demonstrates the advantages of one-pot synthesis that results in more intimate contacts among individual components.

Recent advances in high-throughput (HTP) computational power and machine learning have led to great achievements in exploration of new thermoelectric materials. However, experimental discovery and optimization of thermoelectric materials have long relied on the traditional Edisonian trial and error approach. Herein, we demonstrate that ultrahigh thermoelectric performance in a Cu-doped PbSe-PbS system can be realized by HTP experimental screening and precise property modulation. Combining the HTP experimental technique with transport model analysis, an optimal Se/S ratio showing high thermoelectric performance has been efficiently screened out. Subsequently, based on the screened Se/S ratio, the doping content of Cu has been subtly adjusted to reach the optimum carrier concentration. As a result, an outstanding peak zT~1.6 is achieved at 873 K for a 1.8 at% Cu-doped PbSe0.6S0.4 sample, which is the superior value among the n-type Te-free lead chalcogenides. We anticipate that current work will stimulate large-scale unitization of the HTP experimental technique in the thermoelectric field, which can greatly accelerate the research and development of new high-performance thermoelectric materials.
