Improved Sensitization of Zinc Oxide Nanorods by Cadmium Telluride Quantum Dots through Charge Induced Hydrophilic Surface Generation

<div>(a) Absorption and emission of cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) samples used for the preparation of photoelectrodes of solar cells. The emission was triggered by exciting the QDs at 445 nm; (b) high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) of as-synthesized CdTe QDs showing single-crystalline nature of QDs (inset) small area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern of CdTe QDs.</div>
