Photoconductive ZnO films with embedded quantum dot or ruthenium dye sensitizers

We report a new type of solution-processed photoconductive film based on embedding photosensitizers (semiconductor nanocrystals or ruthenium dye molecules) within conductive ZnO sol-gel matrices. Mixing photosensitizers directly with sol-gel precursors prior to film deposition yields highly colored...
