N2 - A study is conducted to re-engineer the ZnO electrode to build a doublesided junction, one that includes not only a rectifying nCQD:pCQD junction in the quantum dot solid but also a strongly n+:n junction at the ZnO:nCQD interface. Researchers achieve this by incorporating In 3+ into ZnO, which allows them to simultaneously adjust its band structure and carrier concentration, ultimately benefiting colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) photovoltaic (PV) performance. The degenerately doped electrode forms a rectifying junction with the n-type CQD layer, and this increases the total depleted thickness within the CQD solid when the optimal doping density and electron affinity are achieved.
